Before your abortion…
After our case manager speaks to you on the phone, they send a voucher to the clinic you are going to. You do not need to bring anything with you to the clinic stating you are getting support from CAF. The clinic will have your information when you arrive. If there is an issue with your voucher not arriving to the clinic, please reach out to your case manager. If your case manager is unavailable and does not respond, please ask your clinic to get in touch with us.
We want you to know that we affirm your decision. We love you and are here for you.
For some people, getting an abortion is an easy decision. For others, it is a difficult decision.
We believe that every person should have the right and autonomy to determine their own health and life, including abortion, without guilt, shame, or isolation. We’ve pulled together some resources to help anyone who is getting an abortion.
