Abortion clinics serving Maryland

Online clinics provide virtual medical support via video call, phone call, text and/or email, depending on the provider. These services are a good option for people who want medical support from a licensed clinician but do not want to (or are unable to) visit an in-person clinic.

Websites that sell pills do not provide any kind of medical support. These services are for people who are comfortable self-managing their abortion. They are also good options for people who do not want contact with a formal healthcare setting, do not want to upload their ID, or who would rather not disclose how many weeks pregnant they are.

Community support networks often provide emotional and medical support via secure texting or phone, or may refer people to the Miscarriage and Abortion Hotline for text/phone support. They are a free, volunteer-run service intended for people who can’t afford other options.

In-person clinics are a good option for people who want in-person care from a licensed clinician in a formal health care setting, and who have access to transportation.

Note: The Miscarriage and Abortion Hotline provides free, confidential medical information and support by phone and text to anyone who requests help in any state.
