How to Find Safe Pre- and Post-Abortion Care in Restricted States

Posted December 18, 2025

For people traveling out of state for an abortion or taking pills at home, finding local support can be incredibly useful. You may want or need a pre-abortion ultrasound to confirm how many weeks you are, or post-abortion follow-up care to make sure the abortion was successful.

But these services can be hard to find online. If you’ve ever Googled “free ultrasound,” you know you’re more likely to land on a fake clinic than a real medical provider. In states with abortion bans, unclear and often misinterpreted laws have made some providers overly cautious, which can limit care or referrals even when services are legal. That’s why having vetted, trustworthy options for pre-abortion care, miscarriage management, follow-up care, and exceptions-based care is more important than ever.

What is the Wraparound Services Database?

I Need An A built the wraparound services database to help people find reliable, local care before or after an abortion—especially in states with abortion bans.

A little history… the database began with independent abortion clinics that stayed open after bans took effect. While these clinics could no longer provide abortions, they could still offer ultrasounds, miscarriage management, and other reproductive health care.

Today, the database includes:

  • Planned Parenthood clinics that provide pregnancy dating, follow-up care, and miscarriage management
  • Hospitals that may offer legally allowed exceptions-based care
  • Other vetted medical providers offering reproductive health care—not fake clinics or crisis pregnancy centers

Every listing is reviewed by humans and updated regularly.

This database is used by abortion seekers, people self-managing with pills, and abortion funds, practical support groups, doulas, and navigators who need accurate referrals.

What care does the database include?

The Wraparound Services Database helps people find:

Pre-abortion ultrasounds / pregnancy dating
Accurate dating for people traveling for care or planning a medication abortion.

Post-abortion follow-up care
Providers who can answer questions, confirm that an abortion worked, or help manage symptoms.

Miscarriage management
Evidence-based care without delays, stigma, or misleading information.

Exceptions-based abortion care
Hospitals and providers offering legally allowed care in cases like serious health risks or nonviable pregnancies.

Why this database matters

The wraparound services database addresses a critical gap in abortion access: reliable, local care before and after an abortion in states with bans or severe restrictions. As abortion access has narrowed, finding trusted providers for routine services like pregnancy dating, miscarriage management, and post-abortion care has become increasingly difficult.

Many abortion seekers now travel long distances for care and cannot return to the same clinic for follow-up. Others manage abortions with pills and need in-person care without stigma or misinformation. At the same time, unclear and frequently misinterpreted abortion laws have made some local providers overly cautious, limiting services or referrals even when care is legal.

This uncertainty delays routine care and increases the risk of people being turned away or redirected to fake clinics. It also makes it harder for abortion funds, practical support organizations, and providers to make safe, confident referrals.

By verifying providers and clearly documenting what services they offer, this database reduces confusion across the ecosystem. It supports faster referrals, safer handoffs, and more consistent access to essential reproductive health care — even in the most restrictive states.

How we vet and maintain this database

Each provider is reviewed through a verification process by I Need An A’s data team, partners, and trained volunteers. We confirm that a provider:

  • Offers real medical care (not anti-abortion counseling)
  • Provides nonjudgmental care for abortion and miscarriage
  • Is operating within state laws without putting patients at risk

We maintain accuracy with regular check-ins, phone calls, cross-referencing with partners, clinic updates, and ongoing monitoring.
