LEXINGTON, Ky. — Though Kentucky’s trigger law has been blocked for nearly a month and abortion has remained legal, one of the country’s largest providers of financial aid for individual abortions only this week resumed its donations to the state.
In a July 25 email from the National Abortion Federation to the Kentucky Health Justice Network provided to the Lexington Herald-Leader, NAF said it would resume individually funding abortions beginning Tuesday for pregnant people in Kentucky who cannot foot the full cost of the procedure themselves.
The cost of an abortion in Kentucky begins at about $700. For those who qualify, NAF often provides a few hundred dollars for the actual abortion, and covers tertiary costs, if needed, such as travel expenses.
