Abortion Information
If you recently found out you are pregnant, you may be exploring your options, including abortion. Prior to making a decision, however, it is recommended that you take the time to gather information about the different types of procedures, as well as any associated risks.
Hopeline can help you work through your options and provide resources so you can make an informed decision about the next step(s) of your pregnancy.
Thinking About Abortion?
Prior to making a final decision, the first thing you should do after receiving a positive test result is to have your pregnancy confirmed via ultrasound. At Hopeline, we can provide you with a free limited, obstetrical ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy, gestation, and viability. From there, our team can help you understand the facts and risks associated with each type of abortion procedure.
Medical Abortion
Medical abortion is more commonly called the “abortion pill” and requires the patient to ingest two pills. The first pill cuts off the flow of progesterone, while the second induces labor. Occasionally, the entire pregnancy will not be expelled from the body, thus making a surgical abortion necessary.
Abortion Procedures
Surgical Abortion
Surgical abortions can be used to terminate a pregnancy at any stage. Surgical tools are used to extract the fetus from the uterus after the cervix has been dilated. Surgical abortions are performed in a doctor’s office or medical clinic.
It is very important that you do not attempt an at-home abortion, as it can be extremely dangerous.
