Abortion Information

Learn more about the most common types of in-clinic abortion procedures and the abortion pill. We do not provide or refer for abortions or emergency contraception, however we are able to offer ultrasounds if it has been long enough since your last menstrual period to confirm viability and date your pregnancy if you are considering an abortion.

Medication Abortion | The Abortion Pill

A medication abortion, the abortion pill, is two drugs taken in separate doses. Another name for the abortion pill is a medical or chemical abortion.​ It is usually taken between 4-6 weeks, but it is FDA-approved up to 10 weeks after a woman's last menstrual period. 

FDA Warning on Abortion Pills By Mail: Do Not Buy Mifeprex Over the Internet

You should not buy Mifeprex over the Internet because you will bypass important safeguards designed to protect your health. Mifeprex has special safety restrictions on how it is distributed to the public. Also, drugs purchased from foreign Internet sources are not the FDA-approved versions of the drugs, and they are not subject to FDA-regulated manufacturing controls or FDA inspection of manufacturing facilities.
