Abortion Information

Thinking about having an abortion, schedule an appointment with us to talk through your options.

First Things First

If you recently discovered you are pregnant and are exploring your options, including abortion, it is important to gather information about the different types of procedures and their associated risks before making a decision. 

Types of Abortions

There are two types of abortions medical and surgical. Medical abortion is sometimes called a chemical abortion and is induced with two types of medication. Surgical abortion is performed in a clinic or hospital setting and may require sedation or anesthesia.

Medical

MA is achieved through the use of two separate chemicals. The first cuts off the supply of progesterone, the hormone required to support a pregnancy in the womb. The second drug causes cramping and bleeding to expel the uterine contents.

Surgical

A surgical abortion is a medical procedure, often performed in a clinic or hospital, to end a pregnancy. It involves using suction to remove the fetus and associated tissue from the uterus. The procedure itself is typically short, lasting 5-10 minutes, but the entire appointment may take a few hours including preparation, the procedure, and recovery. You will need someone to take you and drive you home.
