As the nation awaits a Supreme Court decision on abortion, clinics are preparing as best they can for an unknown future. In the coming days and weeks, clinics’ ability to provide abortions may be hindered for a number of reasons: Laws may change, demand may overwhelm clinics’ schedules, and labor shortages may prevent them from operating at full capacity. But if SCOTUS overturns Roe v. Wade, until that time, the clinics will be there, and if the changing court decision and subsequent trigger laws prevent some abortions from happening, there are still resources to help you plan ahead — whatever that may look like.
Below, find a list of abortion clinics within a five-hour drive of Nashville. Note that these are abortion clinics and not what are often called “crisis pregnancy centers” — clinics that purport to present all options to pregnant people, but discourage them from having abortions and do not refer them to abortion providers. (The best way to find out if a clinic is legit is to call and ask if it makes referrals for abortions.)
This is not an exhaustive directory of all the clinics in and around Tennessee. The Supreme Court decision may of course change the viability of this list. If it becomes illegal for some of these clinics to provide abortions, they may be able to help you learn about additional options. As you go about researching abortions, be sure to familiarize yourself with different resources, locations, the services they provide and the regulations they must work around. Many surrounding states have some kind of trigger law that would limit their ability to provide services in the event of Roe v. Wade being overturned. Additionally, many surrounding states ban abortions after a certain number of weeks, require a 24- to 72-hour waiting period, or require more than one appointment — these factors might necessitate scheduling several appointments, booking lodging near a clinic or completing preliminary paperwork.
Abortion clinics measure the time leading up to an abortion based on a patient’s gestation period, or the amount of time since the start of their last period — many of them also have pregnancy calculators to help individuals figure out how far along they may be.
