Terms of use

Educational scope

AbortionProcedure.com publishes general educational information about abortion methods, procedures, medication, safety, recovery, access, terminology, evidence, and the civic systems that affect access.

It is not a clinic, a hospital, a medical practice, a pharmacy, a government agency, a law firm, a charity, or an emergency service.

Reading this site does not create a doctor and patient relationship, a lawyer and client relationship, or any other professional relationship. Nothing here is medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescription, or legal advice about your situation.

Not for emergencies

This site cannot help in an emergency and does not monitor anything sent to it. If you may be having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to an emergency department.

Your own medical and legal situation

Medical decisions belong between you and a qualified clinician who knows your history. Where the instructions from your clinician differ from anything here, follow your clinician.

Legal rules about abortion differ by jurisdiction and change over time. Nothing on this site is a statement of what the law is where you are, and nothing here should be relied on for that purpose. For legal questions, consult a lawyer or a legal helpline.

Accuracy and updates

This publication makes a documented effort to be accurate, and the methodology and editorial standards describe how. It does not warrant that every statement is complete, current, or applicable to any individual.

Pages carry publication dates, substantive update dates, sources, and a public change history.

Errors can be reported through the corrections process.

External links

This site links to external sources, official records, helplines, and provider search services. Those destinations are operated by other organisations under their own terms and their own privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement of everything at the destination, and this publication has no control over what those sites publish or how they handle information.

Links to external destinations are marked as external, and the site sends no referrer information with them.

Reuse of this content

The original writing and original diagrams on this site are the copyright of the publisher.

You may quote from it for education, journalism, research, and commentary with attribution to AbortionProcedure.com and a link to the page quoted. You may print pages for personal use or to take to an appointment.

You may not republish pages wholesale, present this content as your own, or use it in a way that implies endorsement by this publication or by any reviewer named on it. Material quoted here from third-party sources remains the property of those publishers and is subject to their own terms.

Acceptable use

Do not use this site to harass anyone, to misrepresent it, to impersonate it, or to attempt to interfere with its operation or its availability to other readers.

Changes to these terms

Changes are published on this page with the date shown at the top. Substantive changes are recorded in the change history below.

Governing law and legal review

The jurisdiction governing these terms is confirmed with counsel before this publication treats them as final. Where that confirmation is still outstanding, these terms describe the publication's position and commitments rather than serving as a final legal instrument, and readers are not asked to agree to anything in order to read the site.
