From acluofnorthcarolina.org/abortion ↗About this program
We are facing monumental challenges to reproductive freedom. Since the federal protections of Roe v. Wade were overturned in 2022, reproductive freedom now comes down to advocacy on the state level.
Abortion is a normal part of reproductive health care. No one should be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will. We are here to help, and we won ’t back down.
Before scheduling your appointment, it would be helpful to know the date of your last period. This is how clinics measure how far along you are in your pregnancy, or your "gestational age," which may limit your options due to legal restrictions.
Questions
