Independent Abortion Clinics vs. Corporate Chains: Who Supports Patients?

When you think of abortion care, you might picture Planned Parenthood, but independent clinics serve 3 in 5 patients. These locally rooted providers face unique challenges. Here’s why they’re irreplaceable.

What Makes a Clinic ‘Independent’?

  • Nonprofit or small-scale: Often the only provider in rural areas.
  • Patient-centered: Longer appointments, sliding-scale fees, and holistic support (e.g., childcare funds).

Independent Abortion Providers: Why They’re Under Threat

  • Violence: 42% of clinics report harassment (National Abortion Federation).
  • Funding gaps: Excluded from federal programs and corporate grants.

Independent Abortion Providers: How to Help

  • Donate: $50 covers a patient’s travel costs.
  • Volunteer: Clinic escorts, hotline operators, and translators are always needed.
  • Share: Follow @KeepOurClinics to amplify their work.
