Abortion bans force people to travel hundreds of miles for care, miss work, and take on expenses they often can't afford. Those costs pile on top of years of inflation that have driven up prices.Everyone deserves access to abortion, no matter their income.

Every client who comes to us has their own story—and faces their own barriers to care. For 8 years, we've helped people overcome the financial and logistical challenges of accessing abortion care, arranging and funding travel while serving as a trusted source of support throughout the journey.

Four years post-Dobbs, abortion bans and restrictions continue to force people to travel for access. Every day, we help patients navigate barriers that should never exist in the first place, and legal restrictions are often just the beginning.

It's been four years since the Dobbs decision. Since 2018, we have helped people overcome financial and logistical challenges of accessing abortion and collected hundreds of client stories. Today, we want to hear from you! ⬇️

Emily Waldorf was denied care for a risky miscarriage due to Arkansas’ abortion ban, even after she met the hospital’s CEO, called the governor’s office and got a lawyer. She was forced to travel hours 5 hours in an ambulance to Kansas for help:

A new lawsuit from Minority Veterans of America argues the VA abortion policy strips away essential, time-sensitive healthcare for veterans. The VA had said it will still provide abortions in cases where a pregnant person's life is threatened.

The billboards might have come down, but the message remains the same. This Military Appreciation Month, we’re reminding veterans and active-duty service members that they are not alone. We believe that those who served deserve access to healthcare with dignity and support.

ICYMI: The Supreme Court preserved access to mifepristone by mail while the case makes its way through the lower courts. That's good news for providers and people across the country, ensuring that accessing Mifepristone – one of two medications used in medication abortion is still an option.

Beyond the physical barriers to abortion care, there is a mental load placed on abortion seekers that often goes unseen. It’s the stress of arranging travel, the pressure of affording care, the need to coordinate time off work or childcare, the weight of making everything align, and so much more.

We're relieved The Supreme Court preserved access to mifepristone by mail while the case makes its way through the lower courts. But access shouldn't have been on the table to begin with. The whiplash on these decisions and lawsuits causes confusion and delays care for abortion seekers.

There have been a lot of headlines about court rulings in the case challenging access to mifepristone by mail – and it can be confusing to track it all. Here's what's happening. 1/4 bit.ly/4tSaGlY

People across the United States have turned to medication abortion through telehealth as a trusted, safe, and effective method of care. Even a temporary disruption of access to medication abortion will have massive implications. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

A federal appeals court has temporarily reinstated nationwide in-person dispensing requirements for the abortion pill mifepristone. We know that by blocking mail access to medication abortion, we'll see an increase in the need for abortion travel, and strain on patients and clinics nationwide.

When Sierra found out she was pregnant after high school, she was facing uncertainty, isolation, and limited resources. Traveling from Texas to New Mexico for care felt overwhelming—but with support from Brigid Alliance, she was able to get the travel assistance, care, and compassion she needed.

With abortion care and counseling stripped from VA coverage many veterans are left without options close to home. That means many will be forced to navigate urgent, expensive travel just to get to their appointments. Last year, 8% of our clients were veterans, military members, or their families. ⬇️

When the VA rolls back essential care, we step up. We partnered with @brigidalliance.bsky.social to launch our #WeveGotYourSix campaign with billboards outside VA clinics to ensure no veteran is left behind. Need reproductive care? We’re here to help with logistics and support.

If you see this billboard, know we've got your six. 🪖 We're proud to kickoff a new campaign about our services to support veterans and their families who have lost access to abortion care and counseling under recent VA policy changes.

It’s on all of us to recognize these intersections and work toward a future where everyone has access to bodily autonomy. Today, we stand in solidarity with trans folks across the country and affirm our commitment to dignity and respect for all transgender communities.

Trump's U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs recently implemented a new rule eliminating abortion care and counseling from the VA's medical benefits package and from CHAMPVA, the civilian health program for dependents of veterans and their surviving family members. 1/4 www.ms.now/opinion/va-a...

Hazel knew she wanted an abortion, but conflicting information about her gestational age from various doctors pushed her options farther away. It made access to an abortion feel out of reach. Traveling to 285 miles from North Carolina to Washington, DC became her only option.

Severe weather is a real and recurring barrier to healthcare. In the Northeast, severe weather causes clinics to close to protect the safety of staff and patients. These circumstances bring unexpected delays and changes to carefully coordinated travel and appointment plans.

This Valentine’s Day, love to us looks like practical support. 💘 Flights booked. Hotels covered. Care within reach. How do you define love?

An Arizona state court permanently blocked several abortion restrictions—including a 24-hour waiting period and a ban on telemedicine. This will make it easier for many patients to get timely abortions in the state. However, the ruling only protects abortions "pre-viability." ⬇️

Keira traveled 900 miles from Florida to D.C. to get an abortion. Being forced to travel can be overwhelming, especially when costs, logistics, and dependents are involved. We were honored to coordinate every step of her journey, so she could focus on her health and well-being.

Today is St. Brigid’s Day. A day to remember where our name comes from and the care centered values that guide our work every day. Legend says, St. Brigid of Kildare performed the first abortion when she helped someone's fetus disappear without pain or birth.

Independent abortion clinics provide most abortion care in the states trying hardest to shut them down. They are lifelines. And abortion funds and practical support organizations help ensure people can reach them—by covering costs, travel, and logistics.

New research confirms what advocates and providers have long warned: abortion restrictions harm patient health far beyond abortion care. Read more: news.ohsu.edu/2026/01/09/s...

Meet Kailey. She needed a medically necessary abortion, but an anti-abortion doctor in West Virginia denied her care. @brigidalliance.bsky.social helped her travel from West Virginia to Washington, D.C. to get the care she deserved.

Today, we should be marking the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade – but instead, our team is doing what we do best: Helping people travel to abortion appointments and working as hard as we can to make abortion care accessible and burden-free. 1/3

Liz traveled more than 2,600 miles to access abortion care. Forced travel can be overwhelming and frightening when you don't have support. We were honored to coordinate every step of Liz's journey, so she could focus on her health and well-being. Practical support like this makes a real difference.

Meet Ivy. She was on birth control & didn’t know she was pregnant till 13 weeks—1 week past NC’s 12-week #abortion ban. W/ a newborn at home & an older child w/ autism Ivy knew she couldn't manage another child. She had to travel & @brigidalliance.bsky.social helped! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgQx...
