What determines the cost for Texas patients
The price of abortion care depends on the method (medication vs. in-clinic), how far along the pregnancy is, and whether insurance or Medicaid can be used — plus, for Texas residents, travel and lodging when care requires leaving the state. Rather than relying on published averages, call the clinic or the NAF hotline for a real quote, then ask about funding before paying out of pocket: frontierabortionsupport.org and the National Network of Abortion Funds exist precisely to close the gap between a quote and what you can afford. Many funds also cover gas, flights, lodging, and childcare.
