Philadelphia Women’s Center
The Philadelphia Women’s Center is part of a group practice of five physicians in Philadelphia. The group practices specialize in Obstetrics & Gynecology and Other Specialty. It has been helping women access safe, legal abortions for nearly 20 years. The center is a good option for women looking for comprehensive gynecological care. In Philadelphia, there are several other options for abortion patients, including the nearby Woman’s Clinic.
The Philadelphia Women’s Center has been around since 1972, when it was established as the first outpatient abortion provider in Pennsylvania. The groundbreaking Roe v. Wade decision guaranteed the constitutional right to an abortion. The expansion of the network of clinics that provide medical care to women was quick, though. However, the Center was also hit by the 1973 passage of Pennsylvania’s Abortion Control Act, sponsored by Senator Bob Casey.
The Philadelphia Women’s Center was founded as an outpatient abortion clinic in 1971. Since then, the Center has grown into one of the largest abortion providers in the Greater Philly area. The center’s mission is to help women in need get an abortion without the stigma and embarrassment that accompanies an unplanned pregnancy. In addition to offering non-judgmental counseling, the center also offers legal advice for unplanned pregnancy.
