Cue the crocodile tears.
After the “rage donations” died down after the reversal of Roe v. Wade, donations have significantly slowed down to abortion vendors, and the abortion media is enraged.
While all American citizens are unwittingly paying for abortions with their tax money, ordinary people are ramping down how much money they’re voluntarily giving. You know, without a “helping hand” from the federal government. The numbers reflect this sharp decrease over the past couple of years.
Fortune reports that the National Abortion Federation’s National Abortion Hotline had to cut the amount of money they offered to women by 50%. And despite seeing a 135% increase in donations after Roe’s reversal, they saw a dramatic 40% dip in abortion donations. The National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF), which includes 100 abortion funds nationwide, saw a sharp increase and decrease in funds between 2022 and 2023. As reported by The Hill, “its members disbursed close to $37 million to about 103,000 people from July 1, 2022, to June 30. That was an 88 percent increase in spending compared to the year before.”
Bree Wallace, director of case management at the Tampa Bay Abortion Fund, said there was a 63% decrease in donations, with The Hill reporting that every abortion fund they contacted had also seen decreases.
Either abortion supporters aren’t as dedicated as the media would have the public believe, or Biden’s economy has people counting their pennies. Even more so, it shows that the abortion base isn’t as strong as abortion pundits and politicians would have the public believe. Either way or for any other reason, the Pro-Life Generation isn’t complaining.
Many abortion vendors reported large donations in June 2022, but these one-time donations dried up quickly, resulting in closing or limited hours of abortion facilities nationwide. As early as 2023, The Nation reported the following:
“Mountain Access Brigade in Tennessee had to close for a week and a half in July, and the Utah Abortion Fund closed from July 18 to August 21. In September the Arkansas Abortion Support Network had to temporarily close its travel fund. Indigenous Women Rising’s abortion fund for Native and Indigenous people is closed from December 1 to January 8.”
Mixed in with tears of lack of voluntary abortion funding is the abortion lovers’ outcry over the increased support for Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRC) across the country. In 2022, PRCs reportedly received $1.4 billion, according to the Reproductive Health and Freedom Watch, a pro-abortion organization. More red states are offering state funding, including Florida, Tennessee, and over 10 other states.
According to American Oversight, “In Florida, government spending for anti-abortion centers increased from $4.5 million in 2022 to $25 million in 2023. In Tennessee, spending for anti-abortion centers increased from roughly $3 million in 2022 to $20 million in 2023.”
These are significant funding increases. And while they don’t reach the annual $700 million given to Planned Parenthood, not including other abortion vendors in America, PRCs are gaining increased financial help, and abortion supporters are still angry. Their claims include that PRC employees aren’t trained, even though registered nurses (RN) and other trained medical staff dedicate their time and energy to helping pregnant women in crisis. None of that reaches the depths of depravity of offering to kill a woman’s child, leaving her with emotional and physical scarring.
So, the abortion media can cry their crocodile tears, but more babies’ lives are saved, and more women are helped. Hopefully, the amount of funds for PRCs will increase, and hopefully, those crocodile tears will also increase.
