Marie Stopes Ballito: Women’s health & safe abortions, Durban
For any woman seeking a safe, discreet and legal abortion in Durban, Marie Stopes can help. We offer our services to any woman who falls within the legally permitted time-frame for having an abortion, and we’ll never try to talk you out of your decision, or require you to get anyone’s permission for a termination.
In South Africa, abortion is legal, and it’s also your right. You don’t need permission from your partner, parents or anyone else to terminate your pregnancy. When you come to Marie Stopes, we’ll help you understand all the options available to you so that you can make a decision that suits your lifestyle and your needs. Remember: abortion is your choice, and only yours.
You can have a medical abortion at Marie Stopes Ballito between four and nine weeks into your pregnancy. Medical abortions entail taking two sets of tablets to terminate the pregnancy. Read about our legal abortion services to understand more about the procedure.
Why it’s vital to choose a legal abortion provider
Can you believe that even though abortion is legal in South Africa (and has been for decades), many women still go to inexperienced, unqualified, illegal providers? It’s true, and it’s because so many women don’t know that they can have a termination carried out legally, privately, safely and affordably – and without anyone knowing about it.
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.
