Women Have Options is a grass roots group which has been in existence since 1992. Our mission is to support the right of every woman to make her own reproductive decisions. We provide financial help for contraception or abortion. Our special area of interest is the southeast quadrant of Ohio, but we help women all over Ohio by collaborating with other funds.
The cost of a first trimester abortion can be more than a poverty-level family lives on in a month. Today, women forgo food, risk eviction, and pawn their possessions as they attempt to raise money for an abortion. Some are forced to continue the pregnancy, abandon their education and stay trapped in poverty. Since 1992, Women Have Options has helped more than 1200 women pay for an abortion or afford contraception.
Join us in protecting women's lives and women's futures. Come to our Annual Fall Receptin, Sunday, September 30, 2007 at The Works Gallery, 54 South Second St., in Newark, Ohio. Our special guest is Michael Payton, Executive Director of the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. Good food, good music, amazing raffle and inspiration. Suggested contribution is $30. More information or a free pass needed?

Given your area of operation and straight-forwardness, I would guess you've faced a lot of opposition in helping women obtained contraceptives and abortions.
Obviously, someone who doesn't have the resources to afford abortion services is too poor to sustain a healthy pregnancy, let alone the thousands of dollars required to birth a child and the hundreds of thousands of dollars required to raise a child.
Hope you can keep the emphasis on OPTIONS. A lot of pro-lifers seem to think we pro-choicers actually want women to have abortions.
