Four things to know before scheduling an abortion

1. You want to know if you are pregnant 

Before undergoing a  chemical (abortion pill) or surgical abortion, it’s important to be certain you are pregnant. After receiving your lab-quality pregnancy test, a trained counselor will answer any questions regarding abortion procedures. Cost-free limited ultrasounds are offered. 

2. You want to know if your pregnancy is progressing 

Since as many as 1 in 4 pregnancies can end in miscarriage, it is important for you to determine how far your pregnancy is progressing and confirm that the fetus is in the uterus and has a heartbeat. An ultrasound is the most reliable way to determine gestation and viability. We can do that for you.

3. You want to be sure you are not being coerced or forced by a partner, friend, or family member to make an abortion decision.

If you feel that you are being forced to make a decision that makes you uncomfortable, or even if you’re not sure if you’re being outwardly pressured, we provide a safe space to discuss your pregnancy options in a confidential setting.

Abortion is a deeply personal decision. However, you don’t have to consider your pregnancy options alone. A trained, compassionate advocate can provide you with a confidential consultation and take time to ask all the hard questions and get detailed, comprehensive information about the types of abortion and the nature of each procedure.

4. You want to gather all the information about the physical, emotional, and spiritual risks of abortion.

An abortion procedure is irreversible. There is abortion pill reversal available for those who have taken the first abortion pill and have a change of heart. It’s crucial to research the possible physical implications, the impact it may have on your emotional health, and how having an abortion has a negative impact on your faith or spirituality.

It is also important to determine if you have a sexually transmitted infection (STI). If you choose an abortion with an untreated STI, you will be at high risk for infection and complications.
