Considering an abortion
Considering abortion
Abortion is a common medical procedure: nearly one in three pregnancies ends in an abortion worldwide.
We are here to support you if you are considering an abortion and would like to talk to someone about your decision.
It can help to seek advice from trusted, specialist organisations. If you don’t feel able to talk to friends or family, you can speak to one of our counsellors or to your GP. Any conversation you have with us will be confidential.
We recognise that not all of our clients will identify as a woman. We welcome and support people of all gender identities to access abortion care services when they choose.
