Call for stories from low-income Iowa women who have had an abortion

From the mailbag:

Dear mods,

I really enjoy your blog, and while I’m not sure this is something any of your bloggers would be willing to post about/link to, I wanted to let you know about our project and see if you might have any suggestions as we wander around the Internet looking for pro-choice folks to get the word out.

I’m the Medicaid Organizer at the Emma Goldman Clinic in Iowa City, IA, and I’m working on a project to increase financial access to abortion in this state. Part of the project involves seeking out low-income women or anyone who had an abortion in Iowa and experienced financial difficulties in the process to share their stories. You can see our call for help at the web address below. If you would be willing to post the link, or have any advice about who might be, I’d appreciate it!

    As the Clinic’s Medicaid Organizer indicates here, the request for stories is not restricted to those women who actually had abortions. Rather, the clinic is also interested in stories from women who were compelled to give birth due to financial hardship.
