I think I am on the right side of this issue -- I am for abortions as a birth control measure -- but without a medical issue, very stupid and cruel to wait until the last trimester before getting one -- looks to me like the pill is available should a monthly period be missed -- wonder why that is not the issue ======= How do I get the abortion pill?
You can get the abortion pill from a doctor, nurse, health clinic, or Planned Parenthood health center. You may be able to get the abortion pill for free or low cost.
Thinking about getting the abortion pill? Find a Health Center Where can I get the abortion pill? You can get medication abortion (AKA abortion pills) from many Planned Parenthood health centers. Our caring doctors and nurses are experts at providing safe abortion and non-judgmental support throughout the process. You can also get abortion pills from some private doctors or gynecologists, family planning clinics, and abortion clinics. Even if your local Planned Parenthood health center doesn't provide abortion pills, you can call for more information about where to get them. You can also visit AbortionFinder.org.
Depending on where you live, there may be restrictions if you’re 17 years old or younger, or waiting periods to get an abortion. You can ask about these when you call your doctor or your nearest Planned Parenthood health center.
Some states have banned abortion or created lots of restrictions, which means it can be hard or illegal to get the abortion pill in those states. But abortion is still legal in many states, and it’s legal to travel to another state to get an abortion. You can learn more about the laws in your state at AbortionFinder.org.
When you’re looking for a place to get an abortion, beware of “crisis pregnancy centers.” These are places that seem like normal medical centers, but they don't provide abortion or a full range of health care — they're actually run by people who want to scare or shame people out of getting an abortion. They often give you false or misleading information about pregnancy, abortion, and birth control, and they usually don't have to follow privacy laws. Your local Planned Parenthood health center or AbortionFinder.org can help you find a trustworthy abortion provider in your area.
Getting the abortion pill in the mail In some states, you can do a virtual (telehealth) visit and have the pills mailed to you or pick them up at your local pharmacy.
At this time, only some Planned Parenthood health centers are able to offer telehealth for the abortion pill. The best way to learn about the services available in your area is to call your nearest Planned Parenthood health center.
Below is a list of Planned Parenthood affiliates that currently offer virtual visits for the abortion pill. In order to have the pills mailed to you, you must have an address where you can receive the pills in one of the states listed here:
