ABORTION
INFO
Considering Abortion?
An unexpected pregnancy can leave you feeling overwhelmed, scared, or unsure what to do next. If you're considering abortion, you deserve accurate medical information before making your decision.
Before making a decision, there are a few important things to know about your pregnancy.
Are You Really Pregnant?
A positive home pregnancy test is a good indication of pregnancy, but a medical-quality pregnancy test can help confirm your pregnancy.
Positive Options provides pregnancy testing at no cost.
How Far Along Are You?
Knowing how far along you are can affect which abortion procedures may be available. When appropriate, an ultrasound can help determine gestational age and provide important information about your pregnancy.
Positive Options provides limited obstetrical ultrasounds at no cost for qualifying clients.

There are two primary types of abortion: medical abortion (the abortion pill) and Surgical abortion. Which may be available depends on factors including how far along the pregnancy is and your health history.
Medical Abortion — The Abortion Pill
A medical abortion uses medications to end a pregnancy.
