Abortion Support Network (ASN) European Abortion Provider Survey
18 November 2020
The Abortion Support Network (ASN) – a UK-based charity which provides financial assistance, accommodation and information to people from the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Malta and Gibraltar who are seeking abortions abroad – is conducting a survey to explore options for expanding access to abortion after the first trimester, either on request or in cases of fetal indication, either for people resident in various European countries or for people traveling from countries with more restrictive abortion laws in Europe. ASN is particularly keen to understand the provider perspective.
The Abortion Support Network (ASN) European Abortion Provider Survey (ASN EU Abortion Provider Survey) is now live. It takes about 5–10 minutes to complete, and the survey can be provided in languages other than English. The survey can be completed anonymously, and the information provided will not be shared with any third parties. The survey will close on 22 December 2020.

About the ASN EU Abortion Provider Survey
Abortion Support Network (members of the Abortion Without Borders initiative) is looking at expanding their abortion fund, and part of that is finding the best care pathways for people who need abortion beyond 12–14 weeks. We are surveying European abortion providers. The goal of this survey is to learn more about the perspective of abortion providers. Though this survey ASN hopes to learn about current capacity, if providers are interested in expanding their upper gestational age to the limit allowed by law in their country of residence, and to explore options for expanding provision.
ASN encourages healthcare professionals to share the survey within their networks so that more EU abortion providers can be reached.
Please contact mara@asn.org.uk with any queries, or if the survey questions are required in an alternative language.
