Get Help – I’m in the Republic of Ireland
As of 1 January 2019, abortion is legal in the Republic of Ireland, on request up to 12 weeks, and beyond in certain circumstances. You can call the My Options freephone helpline 24/7: 1800 828 010
There’s also information available on the My Options website, and from the Irish Family Planning Association.
If you find you are not able to access an abortion in Ireland, we are here to help you. If you are under 12 weeks and unable to access an abortion via My Options or the Irish Health Service, or if you are over 12 weeks, we can help.

Web
If you think someone is monitoring your internet usage, your safest option is to access the internet from a neutral place such as a friend’s house, your work, an internet cafe or local library.
If you don’t want anyone to know that you have visited this (or any) website, you can delete your browser web history or use Private Browsing mode, which does not store any web history. You may also want to delete your search history from Google, or use DuckDuckGo, a search engine that doesn’t track you.
Be aware that the owner or administrator of the computer may still be able to monitor websites you visit.
Phone
If you have an itemised bill the phone number will show, but not the name of our organisation. If you need to hide the fact that you’ve called one of our numbers, then consider using an international calling service or a calling card.
