REMOTE ABORTION
Our clinics offer reduced-priced options for abortion services. These options include sliding scale fees, reduced-price medications, and discounts for uninsured patients.
Depending on the number of weeks into your pregnancy, there are different abortion options. Below are the types of abortion care that we provide.
In-clinic abortion (also known as surgical abortion) is offered up to 20 weeks and 6 days after the first day of your last menstrual period.
If your last period started more than 20 weeks and 6 days ago, we can help connect you to other abortion options in your area.
In-clinic abortions are available by appointment only.
PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
If you have asthma, bring an inhaler if you have one.
If you plan to have sedation, please do not eat for 6 hours or drink clear liquids for 6 hours before your appointment.
If you desire medication to help make your in-clinic abortion more comfortable, you must have a responsible companion with you to help you get home safely.

If you want, you can choose to be sedated with medicine to help you relax during your in-clinic abortion.
