Timeline
Smith, Harold L. (January 2011). ""All Good Things Start With the Women": The Origin of the Texas Birth Control Movement, 1933–1945". The Southwestern Historical Quarterly. Texas State Historical Association. 114 (3): 252–285. JSTOR 23059166.
Abarca died on December 10, 2009 in Corpus Christi and is interred at Rose Hill Memorial Park. Del Mar College created the Apolonia Abarca Nursing Scholarship Fund in her honor.
In the 1960s, Abarca focused on family planning services, securing a $300,000 grant for Corpus Christi, the first grant of its kind in the United States. The next year, in 1965, she accepted the position of executive director for the South Texas Planned Parenthood Center. Her interests in birth control and family planning were aimed at women’s health and preventing poverty. These family planning grants reduced “chronic, systemic poverty” thereby reducing the amount of spending on other social programs. After stepping away from the Planned Parenthood Center, she served persons with mental disabilities as nursing director at the Corpus Christi State School until her retirement in 1974.
Abarca first worked as a nurse at City-County Memorial Hospital in Corpus Christi. A year later, she was responsible for treating soldiers and prostitutes as director of the United States Health Service. In 1946, the same year that she married Tony Abarca, she accepted a position as director of outpatient services at Memorial Hospital. She founded a Corpus Christi cancer clinic, while volunteering to teach classes at a local settlement house.
Apolonia "Polly" Muñoz Abarca (née Muñoz; September 5, 1920 – December 10, 2009) was a health professional and reproductive rights advocate in Corpus Christi, Texas.
