How to Check If the Clinic Is Legal and Safe

Finding a safe and legal abortion clinic near you doesn’t have to be confusing. Follow these steps to ensure you find a trustworthy clinic:

  1. Start with verified sources: Use official government health websites to get a list of licensed abortion clinics near you.
  2. Check patient reviews: Look at a clinic's previous patient reviews to see if it is trustworthy and provides good care.
  3. Check clinic registration: Use the Board of Health Funders (BHF) to check the clinic's registration and legitimacy.
  4. Compliance Status: Check with the Office of Health Standards Compliance (OHSC) that inspects and certifies clinics.

Red Flags for Illegal Clinics

Be careful of clinics with these red flags:

  1. Shady advertising: Be careful if a clinic uses words like “pain-free abortion.” These are signs the clinic isn’t legal.
  2. Meeting outside a clinic: Avoid any abortion provider who wants to meet you in a public place or street corners.

Check this guide for a full checklist of red flags for unsafe abortion clinics .

What to Consider When Choosing an Abortion Clinic

Choosing the right clinic is not just about availability. It’s about feeling safe, respected, and supported every step of the way.

Here’s what to look out for:

  1. Professional Status: Your first priority should be confirming that the facility is officially designated by the Department of Health.
  2. Cost & Pricing: A legitimate clinic should be upfront about fees with no hidden costs.
  3. Privacy & Confidentiality: Your personal information should be handled confidentially online, by phone, or in person.
  4. Clinic's Reputation: Look for a clinic with a clear online presence, real contact details, and reliable patient support.
