FAQs on Abortion
how much does an abortion cost?
Abortion costs are determined by several factors, including but not limited to:
-

Do I need insurance?

Is a surgical abortion easier than a medical abortion?
If you are in your first trimester, you have the option of a medication/medical abortion (the abortion pill) or an abortion procedure. Both choices have health risks and side-effects. Before you decide, you should discuss your medical history and any health conditions with a doctor or nurse.

At your appointment, we can answer your questions about late-term abortion procedures and give you information and resources for pregnancy options in your first, second, or third trimester.
