I love giving money to abortion!

aliafonzy.bsky.social•73 days ago

@harrietcarried.bsky.social been running abortion funds too via https://www.voixnoire.com/

I’ve seen her even arrange transportation too

joelrip.bsky.social•73 days ago

My wife and I give regularly to Planned Parenthood. What other entities would you recommend?

joelrip.bsky.social•73 days ago

Sorry, saw this post before your post about the Palmetto State Abortion Fund. Will look for similar in my corner of the country.

Great resource. Thank you!

Thank you. Found something for Texas and donated.

An anonymous donor gave $7 million to Planned Parenthood in Texas. Bless them.

CAN CONFIRM. I am an accountant at a hospital in Oregon that provides late term abortions that can't be legally performed in a lot of other states (due to the number of weeks), or there are other medical complications and they are NOT CHEAP. DONATE.

stevecuzner.bsky.social•73 days ago

This is a good one for long term access:

I do donate to planned parenthood

forensicgarlic.bsky.social•73 days ago

They are not an abortion fund.

ricyrick87.bsky.social•73 days ago

I like the suggestion mentioned in this thread to donate to states that heavily ban abortions, planned parenthood though is also going to face some headwinds with the trump administration

dietbabka.bsky.social•73 days ago

Thank you for posting links — just gave $10 to the Palmetto State fund that you posted

prisonculture.bsky.social•73 days ago

thanks for your donation to them. they need the funds and every dollar helps at this point.

spockrocket.bsky.social•73 days ago

Thank you for sharing this, I've been donating to PP for years under the mistaken assumption these sorts of services were included. Won't stop donating to PP of course, but I'll be sure to donate to these funds directly in addition to my existing contributions

forensicgarlic.bsky.social•73 days ago

In my observation, I don't believe planned parenthood is making choices that are effective with their money spends.

r343l.bsky.social•73 days ago

so we cancelled our PP donations a while back so we could redirect to other less resourced abortion & repro justice orgs & due to PP decreasing funding for clinics.

the other day I got a phone call trying to get us to donate again. I told him why and he tried to argue eith me! it was baffling.

whirlwindhelp.bsky.social•72 days ago

In my experience, charities are bullshit and you'd do better standing outside of an abortion clinic and just handing out cash to women who need it.

ricyrick87.bsky.social•73 days ago

📌'ing because this whole thread is a wildly useful source

not-soft.bsky.social•73 days ago

Vital to keep supporting abortion funds, especially in ban states. Give where you can, & focus locally if you are able.

Here’s an Oklahoma abortion aid group 🩷 (OG Ban State, what a distinction!)

Roe Fund of OKRCRC:

eileenvan.bsky.social•73 days ago

psiamnotdrunk.bsky.social•73 days ago

Any idea how to give? I’m not seeing a link on the site. ✊🖤

eileenvan.bsky.social•73 days ago

I looked
Can’t see
Maybe call

YOU SHOULD BE FUNDING #ABORTION:
EXXONMOBIL, AGL ENERGY, AUSTRALIA PACIFIC LNG, SHELL ENERGY, ICHTHYS LNG, YANCOAL, ENERGYAUSTRALIA, SANTOS + INPEX.
Healthcare, education, public services such as libraries, transport are necessary too. Your obscene incomes with ZERO TAX ARE KILLING US. #AusPol

whirlwindhelp.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yes, but no. We should just give money directly to people who need it and stop with 501cs. I know of a few genuinely good ones (literally 2), and the rest are money grifts for the wealthy to give each other pats on the back and move money around outside of tax burdens.

whirlwindhelp.bsky.social•72 days ago

Can't emphasize enough the way the wealthy take govt, corporations, & nonprofits to fleece the poor and maintain protections for themselves.

whirlwindhelp.bsky.social•72 days ago

Each one of these entities has their own laws and regulations. The rich hire teams to navigate these and lobby these to their advantage in all ways.

differance.bsky.social•73 days ago

Planned Parenthood raised ~$1B last year from contributions. it finished the year ~$175M in the black. people who have a lot of money to give should donate it to pro-choice candidates in red states.

rsperkins.bsky.social•73 days ago

sounds like that's 175 million dollars they didn't spend paying for abortions!

differance.bsky.social•73 days ago

when Dobbs was issued, people sent checks to PP. which is a good thing! but if pro-choice activists and voters don't push pro-choice candidates in places where abortion is illegal, no amount of funding will prevent endless suffering and death.

rwilliams48239.bsky.social•73 days ago

Okay - that, was much better explained comment.

whirlwindhelp.bsky.social•72 days ago

Or give it directly to people who need it (this is community! Not a fucking nonprofit! Corporations, nonprofits are not people!). Just stand outside of a planned parenthood& give it directly to them. Charities are lies to make people feel good. My work w homeless charities has convinced me of this.

fuzzillogic.bsky.social•73 days ago

Nobody said anything about Planned Parenthood. She's talking about abortion funds. https://abortionfunds.org/

mlb419.bsky.social•73 days ago

rwilliams48239.bsky.social•73 days ago

To be clear, Planned Parenthood provides healthcare for low income females who otherwise may not be able to afford it. In 2010 when I lost my job & could not afford cobra they were a lifesaver for me & my daughter They provided not only exams but also 6 months of birth control pills for both of us

mnasadoo.bsky.social•73 days ago

Thank you! I just donated to this TX org. https://janesdueprocess.org/donate/

One of the most frustrating things I hear from some people with resources is that they want to "do more than give money." OK, that's great BUT GIVE A LOT OF MONEY FIRST. That is doing something concrete and immediate. Those funds are NEEDED.

ohrobin.bsky.social•73 days ago

I think very often it’s just a disingenuous way for rich people to be cheap.

rswirling.bsky.social•73 days ago

I hear this most from people who have a good amount of money but not, like, philanthropy money. They overwhelmingly have ideas for what to do on abortion that’s “more” and I say “ok but that’s not what the people doing this work are telling you they actually need. They need straight up cash.”

fsherman.bsky.social•73 days ago

This is a good point. And not as obvious as it sounds. Thanks.

juleswinnfeild.bsky.social•73 days ago

Yes, people living in a capitalist hellscape, who prioritize money in every aspect of their lives, somehow thinking that giving money isn't the most effective way to help vulnerable people seems like serious cognitive dissonance. Help financially first & then ask, "what else can I do to help?".

brendandavey.bsky.social•73 days ago

I've worked at nonprofits for over a decade - I assure people that we try to do the best things with "unrestricted" funds (which are also heavily audited - it's not going to me). Putting your crazy restrictions on a donation so we're forced to name something after you does much more harm than good.

deborahahrens.bsky.social•73 days ago

Worked at a foundation on the UES of Manhattan that used to joke about the people looking to have a hobby rather than to be a help.

elisarose.bsky.social•73 days ago

Reminds me of when I worked for an affordable housing organization and we hosted an event with someone from a VERY well-endowed foundation as a panelist who said, “you know, you can’t just throw money at the problem of housing” and I was just like… “but you literally can?? Please throw money!”

nlanc.bsky.social•73 days ago

Truly, abortion funds and other grassroots orgs are more open to engage with a supporter who wants to do more than give money in a way that starts them on a path of doing so if that same supporter has also given an interesting amount of money. Time & energy are in such short supply in those orgs...

nlanc.bsky.social•73 days ago

I survive on Social Security and a constrained budget, but I'm deeply grateful to you for getting me to be a monthly supporter of the Palmetto fund a year or two ago. It comforts me to be doing one valuable thing, at least.

prisonculture.bsky.social•73 days ago

I appreciate you for doing what you can. thank you.

laurelinwen.bsky.social•73 days ago

I’m helping a Palestinian family to live in Gaza. It’s the only other thing - aside from the Sudan, and every other life-threatening situation on the earth - that I feel is worthy. We all choose our mitzvahs. When I have more money, it will go to the press so we know about things like pro-life. 😔

warehousepanda.bsky.social•72 days ago

It's also infuriating that the article blurs the line bw orgs that fund abortions and orgs that campaign for rights, like overwhelmingly private donations post Dobbs went to campaign orgs, not abortion funds

pdpittsburgh.bsky.social•72 days ago

"Meanwhile, patients’ needs have increased. Despite the clinic closures, US abortion rates have risen over the last two years, largely because people have traveled across state lines for the procedure or accessed abortion pills through tele-health."

pdpittsburgh.bsky.social•72 days ago

"Still, there is no real replacement for abortion clinics, which provide surgical abortions when medication is not an option, and other services like ultrasounds and counseling."

pdpittsburgh.bsky.social•72 days ago

“As a provider that provides both medication and procedural abortion, we know that people need multiple options,” Kwajelyn Jackson said. “Medication abortion is not for everyone.”
