Why it’s vital to choose a legal abortion provider

Many women live in fear of rejection by their communities if they have an abortion. Illegal providers lure in desperate and unsuspecting women by offering anonymity and a quick, ‘painless’ solution. What they don’t tell you is that their methods frequently fail and are often downright dangerous. An illegal abortion can leave you sterile (unable to have children), ill or damaged for life. Worse still, it can kill you.

Always avoid illegal abortion providers. Marie Stopes is a registered provider of legal abortion services in South Africa and you’re assured of a safe, sterile and confidential procedure, with the proper care and steps carried out.

Quick Facts

Effectiveness

No method works 100% of the time. Think about how important it is for you to prevent pregnancy. Keep reading…

Most Effective

Sterilisation: If you know for sure that you don't want any more children this can be good. Implants: Last for 3 years. Just remember to replace after 3 years! IUD: Many people like it cause once it's in, it works for 5 years. You can ask for one without hormones if you want. (But remember condoms to protect against infection!)

Some Methods 1

For injectables to work, a woman must get a repeat injection ON TIME. Pills must be taken about the same time every day.

Some Methods 2

Male condoms and sterilisation depend on the man. He also has to cooperate to use the female condom. Nice thing about condoms: they protect against pregnancy AND infection. Safe!

Seriously Not Safe

Some people think that it's OK for the man to pull out of the vagina before he comes. NO! There can be sperm in the fluid that comes out before he comes – leading to pregnancy or infection.

Get Help

If you think you may be pregnant, DO A PREGNANCY TEST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE – you can get these tests from the pharmacy or your clinic or doctor. If you have an unwanted pregnancy, the sooner you know, the better you can be helped to choose what to do.

There are lots of government clinics that give free family planning. Look in the phone book or call a local clinic to find the closest one. Marie Stopes are South African government-approved reproductive health clinics.

More on Abortion

About TOP’s

It is legal for women of any age to have an abortion in South Africa. No parental or partner permission is needed. It is your body and your decision to end or keep the pregnancy … nobody can force you. It is very important to go to a registered, legal facility. There are many people who advertise abortion services, but many are not legal and having a ‘backstreet abortion’ could be dangerous to your health and life.

Know Your Rights

Any woman can ask for an abortion in the first three months (12 weeks) of pregnancy. If you are three to five months (13-20 weeks) pregnant, an abortion can be performed under certain circumstances. It is very important to act quickly, the earlier you seek help the better.

Where to go

You can visit your doctor who will refer you to an appropriate facility and a consultation fee will be charged. You can go to a private organisation such as Marie Stopes where there will be also be a charge. Some government facilities offer abortions for free, see link below for a list of local government facilities which offer the service.

Abortion Methods

Medical abortion: Tablets to end an early pregnancy can be taken up until the 9th week of pregnancy. You will be given pills to take at the clinic and to take at home. It will cause you to bleed like a period, but it might be heavier than your normal period.

Surgical abortion: The pregnancy is removed whilst you are at the facility, typically through vacuum aspiration.

Importance of Knowing

It is important to know how many weeks pregnant you are as this will affect the type of abortion method available to you. For instance:

Medical abortions (pills) are only available if you are less than 64 days (up to 9 weeks) pregnant
Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is a surgical abortion procedure that can be done up to 3 months (12 weeks) of pregnancy
For pregnancies over 3 months (12 weeks) medical or surgical procedures can be performed under certain circumstances.

Future Plans

If the abortion is done by a legal provider at a legal facility, problems after the procedure are rare. A trained counsellor will discuss your options and advise you on which family planning methods are suitable for you.
