What We Do
Midwest Access Coalition (MAC) is a practical abortion fund that helps people traveling to, from, and within the Midwest to access a safe, legal abortion.
We offer support in the following areas:
travel coordination and costs
lodging
food
medicine
child care
Currently, people who live in the Midwest can receive up to $80 for completing three brief confidential, online surveys from research partners at Indiana University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Ibis Reproductive Health. This study is for residents of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
The survey is available in Spanish and English.

Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are fake healthcare clinics that exist to divert pregnant people away from abortion care, often using misleading advertising and medical information.
While CPCβs may offer free pregnancy testing or ultrasound services, their goal is to talk individuals out of having an abortion. They often use misinformation, scare tactics, and shame to discourage people from abortion. They do not provide medical care of any kind.
You can check whether or not your clinic is a crisis pregnancy center with Ineedanaβs Clinic Checker tool.
