GoFundMe announced that they created a new policy that bans people who can’t afford an abortion from using the site to raise money for one. Huh?
Why GoFundMe decided to single out abortion care is beyond us. Abortion is a medical procedure that let's women have control over their bodies and their lives. Furthermore, since many states ban insurance from covering abortion, a lot of women can't afford it.
GoFundMe's policy further stigmatizes abortion. Our question to GoFundMe is this: Are women who decide that an abortion is right for them less worthy of getting financial help than these fine people?
