Planned Parenthood

Due to the Missouri Attorney General’s emergency regulation that bans gender-affirming care for many Missourians, we encourage any Missourian interested in starting gender-affirming care to make an appointment__ before the regulation takes effect on April 27__. When scheduling with Planned Parenthood, Andy (he/him) says “I have been receiving care with Planned Parenthood and they require in-person appointments once a year to continue care. So I would recommend __against telehealth appointments__ because I don’t want other folks to get charged over $200 for 1 month of hormones and still have to pay the same amount for an in person appointment the next month.” Planned Parenthood is offering __additional appointments__ to new gender-affirming care patients beginning on __Monday, April 17__, at several locations, including in Springfield and St. Louis, Missouri, and at the health center in Fairview Heights, Illinois.

If you are pregnant and unsure how to feel or what to do next, or you want to talk about a past or current experience with abortion, adoption, parenting, infertility or pregnancy loss, you’ve found the right place. Call our All-Options Talkline at 1-888-493-0092 from anywhere in the United States or Canada! At All-Options, we understand that pregnancy experiences and decisions can be connected and complex – that having a miscarriage may bring up feelings about a past abortion, and that being adopted can influence your feelings about becoming a parent.

People of all ages, genders, races, sexualities, backgrounds, religious affiliations, and political leanings call our All-Options Talkline.

Missouri Abortion Fund

Our mission at Missouri Abortion Fund (MoAF) (formerly Gateway Women’s Access Fund) is to provide public education and support for people needing reproductive health services, primarily by providing financial assistance to Missouri residents who cannot afford the full cost of abortion care. MoAF works directly with clinics on behalf of the people we serve. When a clinic we work with sees a patient who needs assistance, MoAF is a potential funding source to which they turn for a portion of the cost. The clinic then bills us for the amount we commit to covering. We do not offer counseling and do not provide direct personal grants, but the clinics that we work with do. Currently we have agreements with The Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City, IL, Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region, and Planned Parenthood Great Plains serving the Kansas City region. We seek to establish agreements with any abortion providers serving Missourians in need.
