Reproductive HealthHow to Find a Verified Abortion Provider in 2026
Updated 2026-06-04 · 6 min read · A Her Choice guide
The fastest, safest way to find real abortion care is to use a verified directory that accounts for your state, how far along you are, and your budget. Here is how — and how to avoid fake clinics.
Start with a verified directory
Because access rules and clinic availability change and vary by state, the most reliable approach is to use a regularly updated, vetted directory rather than a general web search. Two trusted, free tools:
- AbortionFinder.org — the most comprehensive verified directory; it filters by your state and how far along you are.
- INeedAnA.com — another vetted finder that also surfaces funding and practical support.
You can also call the National Abortion Federation hotline at 1-800-772-9100 for confidential help finding a provider and paying for care.
Avoid "crisis pregnancy centers"
Some facilities advertise like abortion clinics but do not provide or refer for abortion — they are often called "crisis pregnancy centers." Using a verified directory above helps you reach an actual provider and skip these.
Help with cost and travel
Abortion funds can help cover the procedure, travel, lodging, and childcare. The directories above connect you to local and national funds. The National Network of Abortion Funds is another starting point.
Telehealth options
In many places, medication abortion is available by telehealth, with the medication mailed to you. The verified finders will show whether this is an option for your situation. See our guide on the abortion pill for how that works.
