===What to Get & Where to Get It=== | |||
If you are pregnant and wish to obtain an abortion, your best option is to seek an abortion outside Qatar. While there is an underground illegal abortion industry in Qatar, it's not safe and not recommended. Rather, you may consider traveling to countries like [[Turkey]], [[Greece]] or [[India]], where you can legally obtain an abortion. For example, check out this [http://www.bangaloregenesishospital.com/abortion-in-qatar/ explanation from Bangalore Genesis Hospital in India], which provides abortions to Qatari women. You can also visit [http://qatarabortion.com/ this website], which says "We are located in Bangalore, India where medical termination of pregnancy/abortion is legal. The procedure is conducted by highly experienced gynecologists, doctors and nursing staff." | If you are pregnant and wish to obtain an abortion, your best option is to seek an abortion outside Qatar.
