Abortion in the time of COVID

April Updates

Abortion access in Tampa Bay has become more difficult due to the COVID-19 epidemic. We have seen some clinics temporarily close, others have reduced hours and most have reduced or eliminated surgical procedures.

In response, TBAF has expanded its partner clinics to include

Planned Parenthood - which is still offering full spectrum abortion services.

We have also extended our regional reach to include

Orlando, Gainesville and Jacksonville.

We have expanded our abortion care kits to include

emergency contraception, masks and other items.

Additionally, we have been delivering care kits to clinic staff of

pizza, chocolate, wine, masks and other treats to boost morale and

thank them for their amazing work.

How are we doing this?

It truly takes a village. The abortion community has united to assist funds and women wherever possible. We have received donations of emergency contraception, masks, ride service gift certificates and postage.

We have also applied for grants that will assist with our expanded services.

We also thank our local donors, many of whom have gifted us from

their stimulus checks, and others who have participated

in our 2020 Fund-a-Thon - where we have raised over $3,000

in donations with two weeks to go!
