As grassroots efforts to support abortion seekers grow amid fears of Roe v. Wade being overturned, a San Antonio woman is helping fund abortions through her organization.
Buckle Bunnies Fund has managed to raise more than $8,000 in the last week, according to Montoya-Frazier.“Big organizations like Planned Parenthood, with that money, it’s dispersed among staffing just nationally,” Montoya-Frazier said. “If you’re donating to Buckle Bunnies… people you know who are your neighbors or your cousin stuff are benefiting from us.
“During SB 8, we raised over, I think it was almost $100,000. So, I know that just going to keep growing, and people are going to be more emboldened to talk about ,” Montoya-Frazier said.“Since the beginning, we’ve been able to raise and distribute a little over $250,000 to people in Texas that were needing direct support,” Montoya-Frazier said.
“Before SB 8, it about $500, starting,” Montoya-Frazier said. “And now that we’re sending people out of state to places like New Mexico, we’re seeing it raise up to about $13,000. $15,000 is the highest that it’s gone, but that’s because people are getting abortions later because they don’t have a choice.” Factors like saving money, requesting time off work or finding child care can delay a person’s time for seeking an abortion.
