Similar Stories to Two Northwest Abortion Groups Merge on Bing News

Two Northwest groups that help people pay for abortions are merging to create one of the largest abortion funds in the nation. Compared to many areas, the Pacific Northwest has relatively good access to abortion clinics, especially in populated areas. But many women don’t have health insurance, or if they do have insurance it has such a high deductible the $650 procedure has to be paid for out of pocket. Now two local funds, Oregon-based Network for Reproductive Options and Washington-based The CAIR Project, are merging to form the Northwest Abortion Access Fund. “The newly merged organization will cover the largest geographic area of any fund in the country encompassing Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska,” said Samantha Gladu, the vice president of the NWAAF. Dozens of calls weekly Organizers said it’s the third-largest fund nationally in budget and number of people served. “The right to abortion is meaningless if you can’t afford to pay for it,” said NWAAF board member Nadia Piedrahita.
