Response of low income women and abortion facilities to restriction of public funds for abortion: a study of a large metropolitan area

G L Rubin et al. Am J Public Health. 1979 Sep.

Abstract

During the first five months after the restriction of public funds for abortion, a large percentage of low-income women seeking abortions in a metropolitan area in Texas obtained abortion that were partially subsizied using a combination of reduced clinic fees and public funds for ancillary non-abortion services. Their own personal funds made up the difference between the subsidy and the full cost of the procedure.
