Are you enraged about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade? Does the fact that unjust abortion bans are taking effect across the nation spark a fire of fury in your gut? We get it. Your emotions are valid, but rather than letting them burn you inside out, now’s the best time to let that anger fuel your action and support. The best way to help patients in need is to donate to Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties (PPOSBC), your local partner.
When you give directly to PPOSBC, you’re making it possible for patients to receive health care services they may otherwise not be able to afford, and ensuring that no one is turned away from high-quality, compassionate care. This includes our Abortion Aid program, which provides care and travel assistance to out-of-state-patients seeking abortion care. Here are 10 different ways you can light the spark of action and support your local Planned Parenthood today.

10. Support the Abortion Aid Program
In response to state abortion bans and the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, PPOSBC has launched the Abortion Aid program to ensure that everyone has access to high-quality, compassionate care, no matter where they live.
The program increases abortion access for all patients and provides transportation and accommodation assistance to patients traveling from out of state to access abortion care.
We believe that access to care should not depend upon financial circumstances or geographic location. Help ensure everyone—regardless of what state they live in or their ability to pay—has access to reproductive care.
Choosing to Give Locally
No matter which way you choose to give and support PPOSBC, you will have a direct impact on your local community and those in need of care. Because Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your contribution is deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Give today!
