Bowling for Abortion Rights April 27, 2012 Jill I’m a little late on this, but the National Abortion Access Bowl-A-Thon is going on this month, to raise money for the National Network of Abortion Funds. Find an event near you, go, or just donate. Katha explains why this is so important.
I did the one here in Arizona last week. It was really fun, despite my gawd-awful bowling skills. The money we raised will help hundreds of people.
At the private clinic where I worked as a counselor, we relied so heavily on the National Network of Abortion Funds to help women who couldn’t pay for abortions. Public insurance in that state didn’t cover abortion, except in cases of rape or incest.
