Tampa Bay Abortion Fund (tbafund) removes financial and logistical barriers to abortion access. We specifically assist pregnant people seeking abortion in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. We also provide funding assistance and practical/travel support at numerous out-of-state clinics for Floridians over 6 weeks, due to unnecessary abortion restrictions in Florida.

As our access to mife ping-pongs between courts, real people are suffering the consequences. And while extremists continue to purposefully incite chaos and fear, REMEMBER: abortion pills are extremely well-studied, and the scientific consensus on their safety and efficacy could not be clearer.

F.D.A. Decisions on Abortion Pill Were Based on Science, New Analysis Finds
A study of more than 5,000 pages of agency documents on mifepristone over 12 years found that agency leaders almost always followed the evidence-based recommendations of scientists.

Texts that reads “The Chicago Abortion Fund (CAF) is the largest abortion fund in the country, and Illinois’ statewide abortion fund. For over 40 years, we've worked to advance reproductive autonomy and justice by providing financial, logistical, and emotional support to those seeking abortion care in Chicago, across Illinois, throughout the Midwest, and beyond. CAF offers individualized support for people seeking abortion care including procedure funding, travel and related needs, emotional support and logistical expertise. Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, CAF has received support requests from over 50,000 people in 45 states and pushed out over $20 million in direct assistance and wrap-around support. In 2025 alone, CAF fielded nearly 20,000 support requests and spent over $10 million on appointment and travel costs.“

New from me today: Illinois is the destination for nearly 1 in 4 people traveling to another state for abortion care. That’s partly because of its geography, but Illinois also put in place new policies — along with millions of dollars — to welcome patients who aren’t their residents.
