Gorge Abortion Access Collective

We’re a collective helping connect Columbia River Gorge residents in OR and WA with abortion options, emergency contraception, and advocating to bring abortion provision to our area..

Have a question about how to find an abortion?

  • Our closest abortion options require either traveling to clinics in Portland, Vancouver, or Yakima, or ordering abortion medication via a telemedicine appointment from home.

    There are no abortion clinics in the Gorge, and none of the healthcare providers here do abortions. Google search can be misleading, and bring up fake clinics or clinics that do not do abortions.

    If you live in Hood River, The Dalles, Mosier, Stevenson, Underwood, Carson, White Salmon, Klickitat, Bingen, Cascade Locks or anywhere else in the Columbia River Gorge, you can make a telemedicine online appointment for abortion pills, or find the closest clinic with open appointments in Portland, Vancouver, Yakima, or elsewhere.

    Accurate lists of abortion clinics and telemedicine options:

  • How much an abortion costs can depend on how many weeks pregnant you are, type of abortion, extra medications, etc. In our experience, an abortion can cost anywhere from $150 on the low end, like abortion pills, to $15,000 on the extremely high end, typically later abortions.

    The average price for an abortion at 12 weeks LMP (last menstrual period) is $600. When you make your appointment, ask about pricing and if you can apply for help from an abortion fund.

  • You can get an abortion in Oregon or Washington no matter your age, and there are no parental consent or parental notification laws.

    Some Gorge high schools have a student health center that can provide you with support like a pregnancy test, and help finding the right options for you. You do not need to be a student at that high school to make an appointment.

  • In both Oregon and Washington states, both the state insurance program and your private insurance are required to cover the cost of an abortion. You can also contact these abortion funds for assistance, after you have made your appointment:

What We Do

Started in 2022, Gorge Abortion Access Collective is a group of neighbors working to ensure that abortion access is not just a hypothetical right, but a promise kept for our rural community, despite our lack of local brick and mortar abortion clinics.

We help distribute free Emergency Contraception (Plan B), abortion and miscarriage aftercare kits, and more.

We’re grateful to be one of many sources of Emergency Contraception, alongside local healthcare providers. Visit our Resources menu to find where to get EC, contraceptives, and other sexual and reproductive healthcare services locally.

It can be tricky to find abortion and other sexual and reproductive health options out here in the Gorge, and we hope to change that. Check out our Resources menu for details.

We also table, host community education workshops, and more! Sign up for our email list to learn about upcoming events.

We believe abortion access should be local, here in our hometowns, with the support of our trusted healthcare community and neighbors.

While access is restricted across the nation, we’re coming together to figure out how to add abortion services to the healthcare options available right here in the Gorge.
