Serving 110 counties in the north, east, and west areas of Texas, TEA Fund believes restrictions on abortion access discriminate against people of color, low-income people, people in rural areas, and young people. Texas Equal Access Fund (TEA Fund) provides financial support to individuals seeking abortions who cannot afford it. These travels are an expensive endeavor that causes many people to delay or simply not get the abortion they need, but abortion-rights advocates in Texas are mobilizing.
As a result, Texans who need abortion care must travel to other states (Texas’ surrounding states saw an 800 percent increase in Texans seeking abortions out of state, according to Axios). This highly restrictive law - it does not provide exceptions for rape or incest - has effectively become a near-total ban on abortion. Last September, Texas banned abortions after six weeks, before many people even know they are pregnant.
