Tampa Bay Abortion Fund

About 1 in 8 abortions in Florida in the first half of 2023 were provided to people from out of state. By the second half of 2024 — after the six-week law took effect — only about 1 in 50 were for people from another state.

The narrow defeat of Amendment 4 means Florida's six-week abortion ban will remain in effect for the foreseeable future. Abortion funds say they need more money to help people travel out of state for care.

Whether scrambling to get abortions before six weeks or having to travel hundreds of miles to clinics in other states, abortion funds say patients need a lot more help since Florida's ban went into effect. They're worried about meeting demand.
