* If you want to get an abortion in Toronto, the process is fairly straight-forward. You should first decide where you want to get an abortion. You have three options: 1) a hospital 2) [http://www.womenscollegehospital.ca/programs-and-services/bcbc/ Bay Centre for Birth Control] or 3) a free-standing clinic. The main difference between these options is that hospitals use general anesthetic (you will be asleep) during the procedure. Meanwhile, The Bay Centre For Birth Control and free-standing clinics use local anesthetic to numb your uterus (you will be awake). If you're not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, there may also be differences in price, so you should contact them and see which one works best for you. | |||
* Once you have picked where you'll get an abortion, you should make an appointment. To make an appointment at a free-standing clinic, you should call the clinic. To make an appointment at a hospital, you should contact [http://www.womenscollegehospital.ca/programs-and-services/bcbc/ Bay Centre for Birth Control], which will make the arrangements for you. Before you can be referred to a hospital, you'll have a 3 hour assessment appointment that may include an ultrasound, a physical, blood work, and counseling. Then, BCBC will tell you when and where you'll get an abortion. | |||
* You don't need a referral to make an appointment. You can also call Teen Health Source (416-961-3200) to find abortion service providers in your neighborhood. | |||
