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.
