Question
I used pregnancy test and it was positive. I want to abort my pregnancy but I don't know the procedure in Netherlands because I am studying here now. I didn't get my period since last month.

Answer
Hi Cathy dear,

see the list of clinics in the Netherlands:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~isad/vragen/antwoorden.htm#5.waar

You just go to one of them and make an appointment. This can also be done by
phone. Numbers are given on the above site.
I think that you will have to pay cash as foreigners do not get the abortion free.
Could be between € 500 and 700. AS your pregnancy is very young you might opt
for the abortion pill. See:

This could be a cheaper solution.
Good luck

(my mantra) do not have unprotected sex if you do not want a baby.
