  You need to know about abortion services

  Abortion Pill (Medication Abortion)

  Abortion pill (medication abortion) is offered up to 10 weeks and 0 days after the start of your last menstrual period.

  If your last period was more than 10 weeks and 0 days ago, read about our in-clinic abortion services below.

  Abortion pill (medication abortion) services are available by appointment only.

  Plan to be at the health center for 3-5 hour(s) for your entire abortion pill visit (medication abortion).

  You will need to follow up within 1-2 weeks to make sure your abortion is complete and that you are well. In the unlikely event that you are still pregnant, you may need another dose of medication or to have an in-clinic abortion to end the pregnancy.

  After your abortion pill visit, you will need access to a telephone, transportation, and backup medical care available to you once you are home.

  In-Clinic Abortion

  In-clinic abortion is offered up to 24 weeks and 0 days after the start of your last menstrual period. If your last period was after 24 weeks and 0 days, we can still help. Call us for a referral list of health care providers in your area that offer other abortion services.

  In-clinic abortions are available by appointment only.

  Plan to be at the health center for 4-6 hour(s) for your entire visit for an in-clinic abortion.

  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 are more than 16 weeks pregnant, your in-clinic abortion may require multiple visits.

  If you plan to have sedation, please do not eat for 8 hours or drink clear liquids for 8 hours before your appointment.
