Abortion Info & Pre-Abortion Screening

You have the right to choose the outcome of your pregnancy. No partner, boyfriend, spouse, or parent has the legal authority to coerce or force you into a medical or surgical abortion. If you feel pressured or unsupported in your decision regarding parenting or adoption, please reach out to our center. We can advocate for you and provide information about your legal rights.

Remember, the decision about your pregnancy is yours alone to make. No one should make this decision for you.

No one can legally force you to have an abortion, including your parents or the father of your baby. If you are experiencing coercion or pressure to have an abortion, you have options. Request an appointment to speak with a trained client consultant who can help you understand your choices and legal protections. If you are in immediate danger or concerned about your safety or that of your baby, please call 911.

If you are considering abortion as an option, your first step is to schedule a pre-termination appointment for an ultrasound.

Before proceeding with an abortion, an ultrasound will determine:

Whether your pregnancy is progressing, which helps determine the appropriate method of abortion based on your health history and the stage of pregnancy.

Whether your pregnancy is viable. An ultrasound is the most reliable way to confirm a viable pregnancy (one that is progressing). Research shows that up to one in four pregnancies do not progress, and some miscarriages may only be detected through ultrasound. If a miscarriage is confirmed, you will need follow-up care from a doctor.

The cost of an abortion varies depending on the type of procedure and whether the abortion pill is an option based on the stage of pregnancy, ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Before making any decisions about abortion, it's crucial to determine how far along your pregnancy is. At Informed Choices, we provide ultrasounds, regardless of your ability to pay, to verify the stage of your pregnancy. While we do not perform or refer for pregnancy terminations, we offer this service to help you make informed choices about your pregnancy.

We provide limited obstetrical ultrasounds, regardless of your ability to pay, to determine pregnancy viability and fetal development stage.

Rest assured, your ultrasound information is completely confidential. Our goal is to support you as you consider your options in a safe and supportive environment.

To schedule a confidential appointment, you can request online or call us. For after-hours requests, we will follow up on the next operational day.

Please seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms like bleeding, spotting, or cramping, as these could indicate a spontaneous abortion or miscarriage requiring medical care.

Informed Choices does not offer or refer for pregnancy terminations or birth control. Information and services are provided only as an educational service. We do, however, offer pre-termination appointments to assist you with questions and confirm your pregnancy's viability and gestational age—all things required before scheduling an abortion appointment. 

We understand that navigating your options can be scary and confusing. If you are looking for a safe and confidential place to talk, a nurse is available to chat with you 24/7.
