Abortion Pill Checklist

Here are four things you should know before considering a chemical abortion, also known as the abortion pill. Need Answers Now? We're available to text 24/7 at (319)-519-0072.

1. You Want to know if you are pregnant

Before undergoing a medical (abortion pill) or surgical abortion, it's crucial to confirm your pregnancy. After taking a lab-quality pregnancy test, a trained counselor will address any questions you have about abortion procedures. We also offer limited obstetrical ultrasounds.

2. You want to know if your pregnancy is progressing
 

Since as many as 1 in 4 pregnancies can end in miscarriage, it's important to determine how far your pregnancy has progressed 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, and we can provide that for you.

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

If you feel pressured to make a decision that makes you uncomfortable, or even if you're unsure if you're being outwardly pressured, we offer a safe, confidential space to discuss your pregnancy options.

Abortion is a deeply personal decision that you have the legal right to make. However, you don’t have to navigate your options alone. A trained, compassionate advocate can provide you with a confidential consultation, helping you ask the tough questions and get detailed, comprehensive information about the different types of abortion and the specifics of each procedure.

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

An abortion procedure is permanent. It's essential to thoroughly research the potential physical implications, emotional health impact, and how it may affect your faith or spirituality negatively.

Additionally, it's crucial to determine if you have a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Choosing an abortion while having an untreated STI can significantly increase your risk of infection and complications.
