2 Planned Parenthood Locations
The purpose of these listings is for local activists to help people find alternative places to PP, not just for pregnancy, but for STD testing and treatment and other medical services that PP provides. See our home page.
PP locations are current up to January 10, 2025; check PP’s South Carolina page for updates on openings or closures.
We list Community Health Centers, Rural Health Clinics, and other possible alternatives. These were found through web research, with occasional additions from local activists. Unless noted, they still need to be vetted by local activists as to quality and suitability. Here are action suggestions if they’re suitable or if they need improvement. See the Community Health Center Fact Sheet for South Carolina.

The center has this note: “Abortion services may be available up to around 6 weeks. The exact point in a pregnancy at which abortion will no longer be legal will vary from person to person and may be more or less than 6 weeks depending on how quickly the embryo is developing, which a health care provider can determine. Patient navigators are here to help. If you are unable to receive an abortion in South Carolina, they will help you make an appointment at another health center within our network. They will also help you secure the resources you may need to travel out-of-state.”

51 Nassau Street, Charleston, SC 29403-5513. Tel: 843-722-4112.
Caution: unlike CHCs and Rural Health Clinics, which by definition don’t do abortions, teaching hospitals associated with medical schools may be abortion providers. But since most don’t do abortions, we add listings because they often offer excellent services to low-income people. Local activists researching PP alternatives can find out if they’re suitable.
