For Kentucky Women

Referral Resources

Clients from Kentucky may be referred to neighboring states to obtain abortion services. Here, locations and state law in regards to first and second trimester abortions are listed. This information does not constitute legal advice or endorsement of any particular providers. When providing referrals, it is always good practice to check in with a particular clinic on their restrictions and requirements, as well as keep updated on state laws and regulations. It is evident from the review of laws and regulations that Illinois has the most lenient laws in regards to abortion. In Indiana and Missouri women have to be counseled and return to the clinic 18 and 72 hours respectively for the actual procedure.

The regulations cited here were obtained through Guttmacher Institute in March 2017. The following link could be used for updated information:

The list of clinics was also updated in March 2017.

It is important to note that clinics are classified based on the following affiliations:

National Abortion Federation (NAF) Member Clinics: NAF member clinics must undergo Quality Assurance and Improvement visits prior to membership and are subjected to further visits by NAF personnel on a regular basis, in addition to inspections by the state licensing agency. NAF members must also adhere to NAF’s clinical standards, including their Ethical Principles for Abortion Care. For more information please visit: Patients accessing abortion care at NAF clinics may be eligible for support through NAF.

Abortion Care Network (ACN) Member Clinics: The ACN is national membership organization for independent clinics whose values and philosophy are to provide patients with the highest standards of care. While ACN does not perform clinical inspections, they have rigorous standards for applicants to ensure they fit their core values of honesty, respect for patients and staff, and a commitment to quality care. For more information please visit:

Planned Parenthood Affiliates (PPFA): PPFA clinics are subjected to standards set forth by the organization itself to adhere to the highest quality abortion care based on evidence-based practices. Patients seeking abortions at Planned Parenthood affiliates may be eligible for funding through individual clinic resources. For more information please visit: Patients accessing abortion care at PPFA affiliates may be eligible for support through local clinic funds.

Unaffiliated Abortion Providers: Clinics that are not members of NAF or ACN are required to comply with state licensing standards and must pass state licensing inspections. Financial assistance for patients seeking abortions at these clinics will be dependent upon the policies at the individual clinics.
