How do I get an abortion?
Hospitals and clinics perform abortions. You can call a clinic that performs abortions and make an appointment. There are six clinics in BC, four in the Lower Mainland, one in Victoria, and one in Kelowna. Each of them offers counselling before and after the abortion.
You do not need a doctor’s referral to get an abortion at a clinic.
If you can't go to one of the clinics, you have to get a referral to a doctor who performs abortions in a local hospital. If your own doctor won't refer you, or if you don't want to go to your family doctor, call the Pregnancy Options line at 1-888-875-3163 (or 604-875-3163 in the Lower Mainland) to get a referral. You can also ask for information about which hospitals perform abortions in your area. Visit the
Pro-Choice Action Network for more information on where to get an abortion — and abortion counselling — in BC.
Note: Some groups that offer pregnancy counselling are against abortion. They may not provide accurate information about abortion, and they may even try and talk you out of it. You can ask about their position on abortion, before going to the counselling.
