Tips on How to Locate a Professional, and Honest Clinic

Select clinics that provide the full range of contraceptive alternatives, and call beforehand to verify.
Ask on the phone if they provide or refer for abortion services. Avoid centers that refuse to give a straightforward answer.
Be cautious if using the ones listed in yellow pages under Abortion Alternatives.
Be cautious when surfing the web. Often you will find anti-choice religious-based websites disguised as pro-choice information. Keep searching for reliable information.
Select clinics that have clearly established reputations. Avoid centers with ambiguous descriptions. Ask friends or relatives you trust!
