title: Services, policies and costs in U.S. abortion facilities.
abstract: Most hospital providers, in contrast to clinics, do not offer outpatient abortion services, abortion or contraceptive counseling or contraceptive prescriptions, and many require parental consent up to age 18. Many have limitations on the number of abortions, physician consultation requirements, have long waits for service and relatively high costs.
