What does “verified” mean?

There are a few ways that we think using AbortionFinder is better than using Google to find an abortion provider. **1. We make sure every health center we list is a legitimate abortion provider.** Power to Decide verifies that each provider included in the AbortionFinder database provides abortion. There are “crisis pregnancy centers” across the country that can and do advertise on Google as offering pregnancy options, when in fact they don’t offer abortions. **2. We tailor the results we give you based on how far along you are in pregnancy, not just where you’re located.** If you give us the first day of your last period, we will tailor the list of results we give you to be the most relevant to you. We’ll inform you of any relevant state laws and any other restrictions you may face.

One type of state law that could affect your abortion has to do with how far along in pregnancy abortion is allowed in your state. (How far along you are in pregnancy is calculated based on the first day of your last period. We’ll figure it out for you—[just give us the first day of your last period.](/)) For example, some states might allow abortions through 14 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. Other states might allow them through 20 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. Still others don’t have any specific limits on how far along in pregnancy you can get an abortion. Some states ban abortion completely. In addition to these state limits, individual abortion providers decide how far into pregnancy they want to offer abortion, so just because your state doesn’t ban abortion until 22 weeks doesn’t mean every abortion provider will offer abortions through 22 weeks. It’s legal for you to travel to another state to get an abortion, so if providers aren’t available in your state or if you’re past your state’s pregnancy stage limit, we’ll help you figure out where it will be possible for you to get an abortion.
