Frequently Asked Question: Can Any Doctor Prescribe the Abortion Pill?

Where to Get the Abortion Pill?

No matter where you live, the abortion pill can only be provided or prescribed by a medical professional. This regulation has been implemented in every English-speaking country for the sake of women's health.

In Great Britain, only doctors at hospitals or licensed abortion clinics may prescribe the abortion pill, which can be picked up in person at the clinic or delivered by post.

In Northern Ireland, only the Health and Social Care Trusts offer the abortion pill. No GP or private clinic can provide mifepristone.

ℹ️ Doctors, medical personnel and pharmacists are not required by law to participate in abortions. They are given the right to refuse on moral grounds.
