Abortion Services
Not all pregnancies are planned
Abortion is common.
It is important for people to have access to non-biased, non-directive, and accurate information so they can make their own informed decisions.
Abortion, also known as termination of pregnancy, is a safe and standard medical procedure used to end a pregnancy through surgical intervention or by taking medication that causes the contents of the uterus to be expelled.
We understand that women and pregnant people at all stages of their reproductive life can find themselves faced with making the difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy.
Our services provide women and pregnant people with a supportive, compassionate and confidential environment to discuss and assess available options. In addition, we assist you in deciding the correct procedure for you, depending on your preferences and the stage of the pregnancy.

What is abortion?
Abortion is the termination (end) of a pregnancy. Most abortions are performed during the first trimester of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks), but some may be performed in the second trimester (12 to 24 weeks) or, in rare circumstances, in the third trimester (24 to 36 weeks).

Types of abortion
Medical abortion (abortion pill)
Medical abortion (non-surgical) offers an alternative to surgery for women in the early weeks of pregnancy. The most well-known method of medication abortion uses mifepristone in combination with another drug, misoprostol, to end a pregnancy up to nine weeks. Mifepristone is also known as RU486 or the ‘abortion pill’.

Abortion & emotional support
Many international studies show that women who have had an abortion are no more likely to experience long-term psychological or emotional problems than those who have not had an abortion. While many women undergoing abortion experience negative emotions, including guilt, the majority feel abortion was the right decision.
