What do you know about abortion procedures?

Different abortion methods are used to end a pregnancy based on how far along you are. Make sure you know the facts and are fully informed. Avenue Women's Center will provide you with a free, limited medical ultrasound, and resources on various abortion procedures and risks so that you can make an informed decision.

Abortion Pill (Medical Abortion)

Surgical Abortion

A Medical or non-surgical abortion uses the "Abortion Pill" or other types of chemicals to terminate an early pregnancy. This method of abortion is FDA approved up to 70 days after a woman’s last menstrual period. If you are further along in your pregnancy, a medical abortion may be ineffective. Getting a medical abortion may involve up to 2 office visits and may require a surgical procedure if the medical abortion is incomplete.

If you’re not a candidate for a medical abortion or if the medical abortion fails, a surgical abortion would be necessary. A surgical abortion must be obtained at a medical facility and ends a pregnancy by emptying the contents of the uterus using surgical instruments. There are different types of surgical abortion procedures and different methods involved (depending on gestational age).
