An abortion clinic is a medical facility that
performs or specializes in abortions. Such clinics may be public
medical centers or private medical practices.
Planned Parenthood, whose clinics offer abortions as well as other
reproductive care and counseling, is the largest operator of
abortion clinics in the United States. [1] American Women's Services
is another operator of private clinics throughout the northeast
United States. Abortion Clinics OnLine is the largest source of
abortion clinic websites in the US.
The first Dutch abortion clinic (the Mildredhuis in Arnhem) opened
on February 27, 1971.
