Women Have Options (WHO/O) is Ohio’s statewide abortion fund. Founded in 1992, we are an all-volunteer organization that helps low-income patients afford their reproductive choices. We are a founding member of the National Network of Abortion Funds, which includes more than 100 abortion funds around the United States and overseas. We distribute funds to clinics throughout Ohio. These clinics, in turn, use the funds to provide financial assistance to patients in need. 

Some of the patients we serve are single parents struggling to support their children, many are students determined to complete their education, while others are facing debilitating conditions such as domestic violence, illness, substance abuse, rape, or incest. All deserve to make their own reproductive choices, without jeopardizing their health or future.

The cost of a first trimester abortion can be more than a low-income family lives on in a month. Patients forgo food, risk eviction, and pawn their possessions as they attempt to raise money for an abortion. On average, an individual receives about $100 from WHO/O grants. Every donation to WHO/O, no matter how small, has a tremendous impact. We have received donations ranging from $2 to $10,000. Every one of them mattered.

So join us and strike down barriers to abortion access in Ohio! Grab a friend, start a team, and ask your support networks to support you supporting WHO/O!
