What is an Abortion Clinic?

How to Choose an Abortion Provider
Although there may appear to be many abortion providers when you search online for “abortion clinic near me“, not all are trustworthy or licensed to offer pregnancy termination services. Here are a few steps to help you find a safe and legal provider:-Â Â
Check if the clinic is registered – Legal abortion clinics should be registered with the Department of Health. They usually display certification or registration details on their premises or website.
Ask about medical supervision – A legal provider should offer consultation and counselling with a nurse or doctor who explains how the medical abortion process works, possible side effects, and aftercare instructions.
Read reviews or testimonials – Checking what other patients say can help you confirm if the clinic is trustworthy and professional.

Use approved medications and explain your rights
Provide aftercare or referrals
Never coerce or shame you
