re: Wanting an abortion

I'm doing it for me and my daughter, so that I can focus on her and not have to worry about taking care of another baby.

It's free here? Really?

Quoting SAFFY™:" Only a couple of states offer Medicaid covered abortions so that's not really an option for her. Call ... [snip!] ... up and ask if there's some way you can pay for it somehow. I really, REALLY hate that abortion is so ridiculously expensive."

15 states do, Minnesota is one of them.

OP If the clinic is not able to help you further with the cost, try to see if you can get Medicaid as a secondary asap.

I didn't know that, either.

well medi-cal covers it.

Minnesota covers it.

Your state pays for abortions for free for anyone? No wonder they're in the hole. Jeez.

Quoting ma ♥:" Minnesota covers it."

But she said she was going to South Dakota.

It may not cover an out of state procedure.

Right but not everybody has medical... I do suggest the OP should apply though, the application process (in our office anyway), usually takes up to 30 days, but if you explain your immediate need, they can process sooner. You should really look into it OP.

Quoting SAFFY™:" But she said she was going to South Dakota. It may not cover an out of state procedure."

Ohh, I missed that part.

Quoting ma ♥:" It's free here? Really?"

Pretty much, The planned parenthood in my town yes.. Not sure about all of them.. But they are mostly donation based,paid for by medical cal or you can apply for that green card they have at planned parenthood that you can also use for birth control?

Quoting SAFFY™:" But she said she was going to South Dakota. It may not cover an out of state procedure."

I missed that part, too. South Dakota does not cover it and I'm fairly sure Minnesota won't pay for an out of state procedure.


OP if somehow you can stay for a few weeks and get Medicaid, these are some clinics that accept it.



Dr. Mildred Hanson (Minneapolis)
Meadowbrook Women's Clinic (Minneapolis)
Midwest Health Centerfor Women (Minneapolis)
Planned Parenthood Minnesota (St. Paul)
Women’s Health Center of Duluth (Duluth)
Robbinsdale Clinic (Robbinsdale)



ETA: I see where it was stated in the OP at first. So maybe one of the above clinics or Doctors may be able to help you.

What comment might that be exactly?

google "freedom fund" & see which clinics in your area offer it. Its a program for low income women who want abortions. In colo medicaid does not cover it unless its a medical necessity
