Abortion funds see surge in donations with reproductive rights on the line
CBSN
Donations to abortion funds are pouring in following the leak of a draft majority Supreme Court opinion that is poised to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision protecting a woman's right to have an abortion.
Nonprofit organizations that provide financial and emotional support to pregnant people seeking abortions say they are grateful for the rapid influx of new funds, but that their work — and costs — will grow at even faster rates.
The National Network of Abortion Funds, which helps more than 80 local organizations remove financial and logistical barriers to abortion access, told CBS MoneyWatch that donations "skyrocketed" on Monday evening last week after the draft majority opinion was leaked.
