You deserve care, without judgment.

If sexual violence is part of your situation

Support is available, on your terms

If this is relevant to you, you can contact a trained advocate for support or help finding local sexual-assault services and medical care. You choose what, if anything, you want to do next.

You do not have to share your experience with this site. If you need urgent medical help, call 911 or go to an emergency department. If someone may hurt you, see relationship safety support.

If someone else controls your choices

You deserve support without pressure

If someone is threatening you, monitoring you, taking your documents, or controlling where you go, you can ask for confidential support. Contacting a service can leave call, text, browser, account, or notification records, so choose the safest option you can. Do not contact a service just because this page suggests it if doing so could increase danger.

If calling or texting could increase danger, do not do it just because this page suggests it. Consider a safer device or a trusted person only if that is safe for you.

National starting points

Find abortion care

Use a verified provider directory below, or call the National Abortion Hotline. If there is no provider nearby, ask about care in another state and help getting there. A clinic can explain which options are available for your pregnancy.

If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to an emergency department. Do not wait for a textline or a funding organization to respond.

Deception, pressure & conditions

When an offer of help becomes pressure

You should be able to find out what a service offers before handing over your records or relying on a promise. Before booking, ask: “Do you provide abortions or refer directly to a provider who does? Is this a licensed medical clinic? What will this visit cost?”

California’s Attorney General warns that crisis pregnancy centers may resemble abortion clinics while not providing abortion care. A free test or ultrasound does not mean a service provides abortions. If a service will not give a clear answer, use a verified provider directory to look elsewhere.

• Frightening claims or pressure to wait. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists warns about false health claims and delay tactics at crisis pregnancy centers. If a warning is being used to frighten or stall you, ask a licensed abortion provider to check it. A clinician may have a real medical reason for a recommendation; ask for an explanation or a second opinion if you are unsure.
• Promises without clear terms. Before relying on financial help, ask for the amount, payment dates, end date, and reasons payments could stop in writing. Ask whether publicity, religious activities, or a promise about your pregnancy are required, and what happens if you decline. A fund may only cover certain costs; that is different from hiding conditions or threatening you over a decision.
• Pressure to share records or a public story. Some services need information to check whether you qualify. Ask why each record is needed, who can see it, and how it is kept private. Ask whether a story or photo is optional and whether refusing or withdrawing permission changes the help offered. Do not assume every pregnancy service has the same privacy duties as a medical clinic.
• Shame, threats, or control over your choice. Pressure to end a pregnancy or continue one deserves attention. You do not have to argue with the person pressuring you. If you can do so safely, speak privately with a licensed clinician or use a safer device to contact a support service.

Location, age & access

Help for your situation

You can use this page from any US state or territory. The rules and available care depend on where you are. These links can help you check what applies to you.

• If abortion is restricted where you live: use AbortionFinder’s state guides for current access information. Search the provider directory for options beyond your home state. Ask the clinic to confirm its appointment and eligibility requirements before arranging travel.
• If you are under 18 or worried about legal risk: Repro Legal Helpline serves all 50 states, DC, and US territories regardless of age or immigration status. Call 844-868-2812 about parental consent, a court process called judicial bypass, or another concern about getting care. Ask which rules apply to your situation. If you leave a voicemail, the Helpline asks for your full name, age, state, whether it may text or leave voicemail, and some information about why you are calling. Review its contact instructions and consider whether leaving a voicemail is safe for you.
• If language or access is a barrier: the National Abortion Hotline offers help in multiple languages. Tell the clinic or support service if you need an interpreter, disability accommodations, accessible transport, or a safe way to receive messages. Check what it can arrange before making plans.
• If you are uninsured or cannot pay: tell the clinic you need help paying before your appointment, and use the funding routes below. You can ask for help even if you do not know whether you qualify.

Paying for care and getting there

1. Start with the clinic. The National Network of Abortion Funds recommends arranging an appointment before asking funds for help. Tell the clinic you need help paying and ask which funds it works with.
2. Look for a fund. Use its local fund directory. If you are traveling, check funds in both your home state and the state where you will get care. Funds differ in whom they can help, how much money is available, and how to apply.
3. Ask about the whole cost. Include the appointment, tests, medication, transport, a place to stay, childcare, and time away from work. Ask whether someone needs to come with you or drive you home. Before buying tickets, confirm the appointment and any promised help. Funding is limited and may not cover everything.

If you need more travel help, ask your clinic or abortion fund about a referral to The Brigid Alliance. Support can include travel, food, lodging, and childcare. A referral is required, and Brigid will check whether it can help.

California care and rights

ACCESS Reproductive Justice helps people seeking care in California with referrals, funding, transport, a place to stay, and childcare. Call 800-376-4636 for English or 888-442-2237 for Spanish. Interpreters for other languages are available. Its website explains how to request help. Replies may take several business days, and the service may not be able to meet every request.

California’s official abortion information hub has provider search, care information, and guidance for residents, visitors, immigrants, and people under 18. California law protects abortion access, with rules depending on timing and circumstances. A clinician or legal helpline can explain which information applies to you.

• Paying for care: California says Medi-Cal covers abortion through participating providers, with possible patient costs for people with Share of Cost. Most California private plans cover abortion, but some employer plans differ. Confirm coverage, provider participation, and your expected costs.
• If you are under 18: California allows minors to consent to abortion without parental permission. Providers still have reporting duties in cases involving child abuse. Ask how confidentiality and reporting apply to you.
• If you use a parent or partner’s insurance, ask the insurer and clinic how to keep communications private before using the plan. Bills, online accounts, or an Explanation of Benefits statement can reveal care. California’s privacy page explains how to request separate messages and mail.

California protections do not answer every legal question about a person traveling from another state. Get advice about your own situation, especially if you are a minor or someone is threatening legal action.

Privacy and safer contact

Digital Defense Fund’s abortion privacy guide covers shared phones, messages, browsing, location, and other practical concerns. Choose steps that fit your situation. Sudden changes to a monitored account may be noticed.

• Consider who can see your screen, notifications, shared email, cloud backups, location sharing, and phone account. A private browser window cannot make a monitored device private.
• Tell the clinic or support organization how it can safely contact you. Ask whether it will leave voicemail, send mail, or identify itself in messages. Phone and text contact can leave records on your device or account.
• Ask what information a service needs and how it uses it before sharing identification, medical records, financial documents, or your story. You can ask questions before deciding whether to proceed.
• If someone is pressuring you to end or continue a pregnancy, ask to speak with a clinician privately. If doing so would put you at risk, consider using a safer device to contact a support service.

We do not ask for your name, location, or pregnancy details. This page has no forms, scripts, or embedded services, and its links do not tell other sites that you came from this page. Your browser, device, network, and our server may still keep records of the visit. The organizations you contact have their own privacy practices.

You do not have to feel a certain way

You might feel relief, sadness, regret, grief, anger, or several things at once. You can talk about any of them. You do not have to hide regret to be welcome here, or call an abortion a mistake to get support.

For ongoing mental health care, look for a licensed clinician. Before sharing your story, you can ask: “Can you help me talk about this without pushing a religious or political view?”

If you continue the pregnancy

You deserve practical help whether you feel certain, unsure, happy, or overwhelmed. You do not have to have everything worked out before asking for care, food, or help with the bills.

• Find an HRSA-supported health center for general health and pregnancy care. HRSA explains that centers serve people with or without insurance or money to pay. Ask the center which prenatal services, fees, and referrals apply to you. This is not a directory of verified abortion providers.
• Prenatal care information from the Office on Women’s Health: learn about getting care during pregnancy and discuss your health needs with a clinician.
• WIC across the US offers eligible participants food, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and referrals. California WIC explains how to apply locally.
• California CalWORKs: cash aid and services for eligible families. Ask your county about eligibility and available help with essential costs.
• 211 can help identify local food, housing, benefits, and transportation resources. Dial 211 where available or use its website. It is a general community-service connector, not a verified abortion-provider directory.
• National Maternal Mental Health Hotline: free support during pregnancy and after birth. Call or text 833-852-6262 (text option), 24/7. English and Spanish, interpretation in 60 other languages, and relay/TTY access are available. Check the service’s access instructions.
• All-Options can listen as you consider parenting or adoption, or talk through feelings about continuing a pregnancy. You can ask for support without committing to a decision.

If you are helping someone: ask what they need. Offer something specific, such as a ride, childcare, a meal, or company at an appointment. Let them decide whether that would help. Keep their situation private.

How we chose these resources

We checked each organization’s own website for what it offers, where it works, and how to reach it. Verified abortion-provider directories are labeled separately from general healthcare and support services. We do not list anti-abortion pregnancy centers as sources of abortion care.

We have not assessed every clinic or every person’s experience. Ask the service what it can offer you and how it protects your information before sharing records or making plans.

You do not have to read our investigations, tell us your story, or agree with us to use this directory. If you find a broken link or wrong information, use our corrections policy. Please do not include private medical details.
