Abortion Resources in Wisconsin
I live in Wisconsin and need an abortion.
What should I do?
Locate a provider out-of-state:
If you live in Wisconsin and need an abortion, you can search for abortion care here or visit AbortionFinder.org for a full list of abortion providers.
Schedule a Pregnancy Assessment & Ultrasound Dating Appointment:
If possible, schedule a free Pregnancy Assessment and Ultrasound Dating appointment at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin to find out exactly how far along the pregnancy is. This is especially beneficial for patients who don't know the exact date of their last menstrual period.
Pregnancy Assessment and Ultrasound Dating appointments are offered to patients free of charge.
Different abortion options (pills or in-clinic) and providers have different time limits for care. It's important to know how far along you are when booking an appointment to help ensure you will get the care you expected at your out-of-state appointment.
Pregnancy Assessment and Ultrasound Dating are currently available at the following health centers:
Important: Watch out for "Crisis Pregnancy Centers" offering free ultrasounds. These are not medical clinics and will mislead you about your abortion options.
Abortion types: in-clinic abortion and abortion pills
There are two ways of ending a pregnancy: in-clinic abortion and abortion pills. Both are safe and effective. You will need to travel to another state to receive either of these services. Learn more about abortion pills in Wisconsin.

Self-managed Abortion
Finding and taking abortion pills to end a pregnancy outside of the health care system is called “self-managed abortion.” Legal abortion provided by a doctor or nurse is the most effective and best-studied way to have an abortion in the U.S., and decades of research show that it’s extremely safe and effective. While self-managed abortion hasn’t been studied as much, there are safe and effective ways to self-manage abortion with pills.
In the U.S., it’s illegal to give or get the abortion pills without a prescription. There are potential legal risks to buying abortion pills outside of the health care system. Plan C* has more information about the difference between getting an abortion from a doctor or nurse, like the staff at your local Planned Parenthood, and a self-managed abortion, including legal considerations.
Post-Abortion Care
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is a safe place for you to turn to for confidential, nonjudgmental care. We are here to provide you with post-abortion care -- no matter how you chose to receive your abortion. This service will be provided free of charge.
Watch out for "Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs)"
It’s important to be aware of fake health centers — also known as crisis pregnancy centers — which may advertise abortion options, pregnancy counseling, free ultrasounds, etc. These organizations do not provide abortions and won’t give you factual information about your options.
All the listings on AbortionFinder.org are licensed abortion providers.
