Abstract

In 1970, abortion on demand was legalized in several sections of the United States. Due to increased demand for abortions, free standing abortion clinics came into existence. This paper develops a methodology for determining the optimal design of a free standing abortion clinic, in order to maximize its profits. An example of a clinic which was actually designed employing the methodology is presented, and the results suggest that the methodology is relevant and useful.
