Where can I go to have an abortion?

This list is intended to provide information on the various agencies in and around Rhode Island that offer quality and reputable health and abortion care. It is not intended as a recommendation or endorsement of specific agencies.

When searching for a clinic or provider, you can learn more about the specific services offered by reviewing their website and/or calling and inquiring about the offered services. In deciding if a provider or clinic is right for you, know that you have the right to get accurate information and support you need from people who will give you the facts without judgment or pressure about what to do about a pregnancy. (There are some organizations which advertise themselves as Crisis Pregnancy Centers and as places to go if you are seeking an abortion, but which do not provide abortion care or referrals and have the goal of discouraging people from getting abortions. We do not list any of those organization below as they are not abortion providers.)
