Beware Crisis Pregnancy Centers
Crisis Pregnancy Centers are organizations that try to look like health facilities to discourage people from obtaining abortion care. There are resources available to help identify and avoid them.

FAQs about abortion provider search sites
Why do abortion provider search services ask for my location?
Each state has different laws about abortion and different requirements to get one.
Giving your state and/or zipcode allows these websites to tell you about the laws in your state, and direct you to the closest abortion provider.
Why do abortion provider search services ask for the first day of my last period?
The length of pregnancy is measured based on the first day of your last period. Abortion laws and available treatment options are based on this date. If you know this date, it will help the service accurately tell you what options are available to you. If you don’t know this date, click the “I don’t know” option.
Why do abortion provider search services ask for my age?
Some states have different laws for minors than those over the age of 18.
