On March 15th, Preterm turned 52! We are proud to have provided continuous compassionate abortion care since our founding in 1974, and we are here 👏 to 👏stay.👏
Will you help us celebrate by donating a symbolic $52 or $19.74? Every dollar donated, every volunteer shift, every aftercare package, is part of Preterm's legacy of compassionate care.
We are only as strong as our community, and we are so grateful for all y'all who continue supporting Preterm year after year. Drop some birthday love in the comments!
Honor the history of herbal medicine in abortion care by joining Preterm for a paper botanical class. Led by Hattie Kotz of Dabbler's Collective, we will create beautiful paper Calendulas and learn about the roots of abortion in herbalism and herbal medicine.
All proceeds from the class will be donated towards Preterm's Fund-a-Thon goal! Spots are limited, so snag yours before they sell out! 💐
Providing abortion care is an act of love and liberation. It is work rooted in community, carried forward across generations by people who believe everyone deserves the freedom to shape their own lives. At Preterm, we show up every day because our community deserves care they can trust. Thank you to the abortion providers of the past, present, and future. Today, we celebrate you.

Preterm advances reproductive health and justice by providing safe, respectful, and accessible abortion care and sexual healthcare.
We advocate for every person's right to determine whether or when to have children, to become a parent and to parent with dignity, to have a healthy pregnancy, and to have healthy and safe families and relationships.
Providing Outstanding Health Care
Preterm provides abortion care and other sexual health services such as birth control options, STD testing and treatment, and wellness care. Our entire staff is dedicated providing the highest quality health care, with empathy and without judgment. Learn more about our services.
Addressing Unequal Access to Health Care
We keep our services as affordable as possible and offer financial assistance to abortion patients with limited financial resources. We accept most insurance for sexual healthcare, including Medicaid.
Raising the Standards of Medical Care
We serve as a training site for medical residents and other health professionals who want to learn about high quality abortion care and family planning. We also participate in medical research, such as the clinical trials that led to the FDA approval of RU-486 for medication abortion.
Advocating for Our Patients
Preterm is dedicated to eliminating the shame and stigma around abortion and building a more empathetic world where people can make pregnancy decisions with dignity and respect. Learn more about our My Abortion, My Life project.
