Lonesome45.. Canada Abortions Are Free..

You live in .S.

I will do some looking and double check for you, OKAY?

Basically for a hospital abortion, you need to make a few phone calls, and get a 'consultation' appointment.

I will get the info ASAP for you ..Basically right now!

Yeah, in most provinces (definitely Ontario and Saskatchewan) abortions are covered under our free healthcare.

I did some google searching looking for a place for you in SK but haven't found a specific place.

What I have found is that:

1) There are no private abortion clinics in SK.
2) There are only 2 hospitals in all of SK which provide abortions, but I wasn't able to find out the names of the 2 hospitals.

This information may be out-dated though and you might have more options than this.

Maybe someone else can be more effective at helping you find a place.

You should be able to get information on where to get an abortion from your family doctor (what you talk about with them is confidential) or a school nurse, or perhaps an abortion support helpline. You could even try calling one of the phone numbers that Carifairy posted for you, explain that you are having a hard time locating services in SK and they should be able to help you.

Looks like you'll just need to find a place, then find someone to help you get there. The sooner, the better.

Best of luck.

Actually, hold on - Carifairy's working on it right now. She should be a better help than I am.

In saskatchewan, you would go to a hospital for an abortion. It seems that there are not any actual 'free standing' clinics. It is FULLY covered, 100% FREE, when you go to a hospital. You would need a ride though.. They are hard to find.

This is the national abortion federation in Canada, they are a GREAT resource to help you find out how to get an abortion.

IF you can travel to ALBERTA, there is a clinic that will do an abortion for you for free.... They would be easier to get an appointment at FAST..

ALSO.... Consent in Alberta is based on capacity, not age. If the physician and clinic staff feel you understand the procedure and its risks, you may sign your own consent form
Here it is:

You can DEFINATELY get an abortion at Kensington clinic without parental consent, and for FREE. You do have to have your HEALTH CARD though.

There are only 2 hospitals that offer abortion in SK, and I am trying to find out who they are for you.

It is FREE though.

You can Travel to Alberta though =) You could get an appointment very quickly there.


I believe that this hospital provides abortions

Call and ask first though.

It might be a faster drive to go to alberta, as I do not know exactly where you are.


I am going to find the other one!

Basically what you need to do is call a few hospitals and explain that you need an abortion, and see if they provide the service.

=)

I am trying to find the hospitals, but I get a lot of BS links..

thank you soo much..
theres no way i can get to alberta unfortunatly..
but ill try and phone some hospitals in saskatoon and maybe get my boyfriend to drive me there
thanks alot again
youre a HUGE help

AWESOME..

Saskatoon is where an abortion provider 'hospital' is, but I do not exactly know which hospital.

You would need a ride, because I am pretty sure you will KNOCKED out completely.

i would get knocked out?
do you know how long i would be knocked out for?

Maybe 5-10 minutes or less.

Abortion is often done with Iv sedation or anesthesia, it makes it painless.

An abortion only takes about 5 minutes, so you would be asleep or sedated for a very short time.
