If you suspect you might be pregnant and are facing the difficult decision of what to do next, you’re not alone. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed, and options like abortion may be on your mind. Our center is here to guide you, offering support as you weigh your choices. We understand how challenging this time can be, and we’re committed to providing the abortion information and care you need.
Before making any decisions about abortion, it’s essential to first confirm your pregnancy. Missing your period or experiencing other pregnancy symptoms can have various causes, so a pregnancy test is the first step. We offer free, confidential pregnancy tests at our center and are here to answer any questions you may have during your visit.
If your pregnancy test is positive, it’s crucial to have an ultrasound to verify important details about your pregnancy. An ultrasound can confirm if your pregnancy is viable (meaning the baby has a heartbeat and is developing), determine how far along you are, and confirm whether the pregnancy is in the uterus, as an ectopic pregnancy requires immediate medical attention. This step is vital before making any decisions, as it affects your options.
Reach out to us today to schedule your free ultrasound and discuss your options. We’re here to support you every step of the way in a confidential, non-judgmental environment.
Medication abortion is an option for terminating a pregnancy early, typically up to 11 weeks of pregnancy. Known by several names, including RU-486 and Mifepristone, this method uses two medications: mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, which is necessary to sustain a pregnancy. Afterward, misoprostol induces labor-like symptoms, such as cramping and bleeding, to expel the pregnancy.
Before considering a medication abortion, it’s critical to confirm that you’re indeed pregnant with a reliable test and ultrasound. A medication abortion will not be effective if the pregnancy is ectopic (outside the uterus), which can be life-threatening.

Surgical abortion involves a procedure to remove the pregnancy from the uterus. There are different methods depending on the stage of pregnancy, with suction abortion (vacuum aspiration) being most common. Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) is another option for pregnancies beyond 16 weeks.
