Dr. Cristina Yang has had abortions and knows access changes everything. She ties a matching grant with surgical attendings tied to OR start time. Start late, give more. Efficiency is her love language, so she is a monthly giver because the best way to help someone get an abortion is to pay for it.

Dr. Meredith Grey backs patients failed by the system. Remember when she risked everything to help a young immigrant girl? She knows cost blocks care, so she adds abortion fund info to patient packets at Grey Sloan. Then she starts a monthly donor challenge. Lowest donor buys coffee for the pit.

Paging Grey's Anatomy fans! In honor of tonight’s premiere, we imagined how our faves would back their local abortion fund. From Bailey’s pragmatism to Cristina’s efficiency, the takeaway is simple: donate monthly, share resources, and help people get to their appointments. Check out our thread!

When you narrow it down to people who support abortion access AND fully embrace reproductive justice, it goes to 100%.

Here’s the truth:

🌻 Abortion funds are still here.
🌻 We are the last line of support for many Texans.
🌻 We help people access the out-of-state abortion care they need with compassion, not judgment.

Texans already live under 4 overlapping abortion bans. The impact has been devastating for maternal & child health. HB 7 will only make things worse by isolating pregnant people and punishing those who care for them.

Texas Equal Access Fund @teafund.org · 22d

🚨 Last night, Governor Abbott signed HB 7 into law.

This latest ban expands Texas’ abortion restrictions and creates a bounty-hunting scheme where extremists can sue anyone who helps a Texan access abortion pills and pocket up to $100,000.

That’s how Texas abortion funds are fighting every day to restore access and to care for our communities. We’ll never back down.
