If You Are Thinking About Abortion

If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, we know you have some decisions to make. We also know that abortion could be one of those decisions. Whether you have already made up your mind, or you’re just looking for more information, we have the services to help you. If you already have an appointment scheduled for an abortion, visit us first for a pre-abortion appointment. We do not refer for or perform abortions, but we can confirm your pregnancy, which you will need to do before getting an abortion.

The following services are free to you:

  • Laboratory Quality Pregnancy Tests
  • Limited Obstetrical Ultrasound by a Licensed Medical Professional
  • Private and Pressure-Free Abortion Education (With NO Judgment and NO graphic images)

Many women feel like they need to make a decision quickly once they figure out they are pregnant, but it is our goal to make sure you are fully educated on all of your choices. If you aren’t aware of your options or don’t understand everything that is involved, you could experience a lifetime of regret, self-judgment and grief, which we wouldn’t want for any woman.

Abortion Information, Along With a Health and Safety Checklist:

Abortion is a medicinal or surgical procedure resulting in the termination of a pregnancy. There are risks associated with abortion, just like any other medical procedure. We have an in-office abortion education program that covers this topic in detail. Regardless, all abortion procedures require proof of pregnancy and gestational age. This can be done through an ultrasound, which we provide at no charge.

Medical Abortion (AKA the Abortion Pill) is a multiple step process, of which there are two types of medical abortion procedures, both associated with health risks. There are some women who believe the Abortion Pill method is easier than a surgical abortion, but it is reported that the pain associated with the procedure is similar to childbirth, with "labor-like" pains that could last for hours or days. For the Abortion Pill, it will cost between 300 and 800 dollars. The costs could be higher if there are any complications.

Surgical Abortion is a medical operation where the client’s uterus is dilated to manually remove the fetus and placenta via suction, vacuum and curette (surgical instrument shaped like a scoop or spoon). There are several types of abortion procedures, but all are associated with health risks. For a surgical abortion, you could pay between 300 to 3200 dollars. The costs could be higher if there are any complications.

Abortion Health and Safety Checklist:
  • Have you had a confirmation of a viable, uterine pregnancy?
  • Do you have any STIs or have you been tested?
  • Do you know everything about the abortion procedure?
  • Does the abortion clinic treat you for any complications?
  • Do you understand that it’s ok to change your mind?
  • Does the doctor have local hospital admitting privileges?
  • Have there been any lawsuits filed against the doctor or clinic?
  • Do you know about potential emotional/physical complications?
  • What do you know about fetal development?
  • Are you feeling pressured to have an abortion?

It is our promise to you that you will not be judged, pressured, shamed or frightened into not having an abortion. You have the right to choose what you do with your body and you have the right to feel safe.
