Where Can You Get an Abortion in Washington State?

Primary Care Clinics

Washington State law allows healthcare providers who are trained in abortion care to perform abortions.

This means you may be able to access early abortion services at your primary care facility without having to visit a separate clinic or see a different provider.

Reproductive Health Clinics

Washington State has 46 clinics that provide abortion care.

The Department of Health (DOH) helps fund 34 of these clinics to provide sexual and reproductive healthcare services on a sliding fee scale or for free for patients who qualify.

Hospitals

Public hospitals that provide maternity benefits are required by Washington State law (RCW 9.02.160) to provide equivalent services for abortion.

In cases of medical emergencies that require an abortion, you have the right to receive care at any hospital. Any hospital that cannot provide a necessary abortion when you arrive for care must refer you to a facility that can.

Telehealth

Telehealth is a safe, secure, and private way to access medication abortion, and other reproductive services, without having to visit a clinic.

Telehealth appointments can take place online, through video calls, or as audio-only calls.

Medication abortion, as well as other sexual and reproductive health services, can be accessed through telehealth.
