Abortion Patient Rights: What You Need to Know

When making decisions about your health, it’s essential to understand your rights as a patient. Whether you are considering an abortion or any other medical procedure, knowing your legal protections can help you advocate for your well-being.

At Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we believe that every woman deserves to make an informed decision with full knowledge of her rights and options. If you are considering an abortion, here are key abortion patient rights you should be aware of:

Your Rights as an Abortion Patient

The Right to a Licensed Physician – You have the right to verify your doctor’s credentials before undergoing any procedure.

The Right to Check Medical History – You can research your physician’s malpractice history and verify if their medical license has ever been suspended or revoked.

The Right to Know About Medical Insurance – Your doctor should have medical liability insurance to cover potential injuries or complications.

The Right to Emergency Care – If you experience complications during an abortion procedure, you have the right to immediate emergency medical care and hospital transfer.

The Right to Say No – No one—regardless of their relationship to you—can legally force you to have an abortion. If you feel pressured or coerced, help is available. Contact Open Arms at 208.667.5433 for confidential support.

Understanding the Risks of Medical Abortion

If you are in the early stages of pregnancy, you may be considering a medical abortion (the “abortion pill“). It’s important to know that some abortion providers do not always follow FDA guidelines, which can increase the risk of severe complications. Additionally, abortion procedures—both medical and surgical—can lead to serious health risks that may not be immediately apparent.

At Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we provide evidence-based education on all your pregnancy options, including abortion, adoption, and parenting. Our licensed medical team offers free and confidential services, including lab-quality pregnancy testing and ultrasounds, so you can make an informed decision about your health.
