Types of Abortion – Abortion Information
MEDICAL ABORTION
Medication abortion also called abortion pill, can be taken up to 70 days (10 weeks pregnant).
We can provide you with vital information about your pregnancy and whether the abortion pill is an option. 2 It’s important to note that some women should not take the abortion pill. Many telehealth abortion pill providers require an ultrasound before administering abortion pills, and we can provide this service for you at no cost.
SURGICAL ABORTION
There are several types of surgical abortions. Suction aspiration, also called suction curettage, or vacuum aspiration abortion, is performed during the first 6 to 14 weeks gestational stage. Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) is another type of procedure typically done in later weeks.
