PLEASE BE AWARE OF CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTRES. #
Crisis Pregnancy Centres are anti-abortion Christian facilities that pose as abortion clinics in order to trick people into not getting an abortion. There are 7 of these fake clinics in Niagara and many more across Ontario. Please see the section on crisis pregnancy centres for more information.
The clinics listed below are NOT crisis pregnancy centres and WILL provide abortions.
There are two types of abortion: medication abortion and procedural abortion. Medication abortion requires you to take a series of pills at home. Procedural abortion is a short procedure that takes place in a clinic or hospital. Talk to a healthcare professional about which option is best for you. See below for information on what each clinic offers.
