Pre-Abortion Consultation

Many women report subtle or strong pressure to have an abortion. The choice is yours. No partner, boyfriend, spouse, parent, or anyone else has the legal right to blackmail, coerce, or force a medical or surgical abortion.

If pressure is building or support is missing for parenting or for making an adoption plan, connect with Life Choices. A trained team member can advocate for you and explain your legal rights.

You have the legal right to decide what to do with this pregnancy. No one should make this decision for you.

No one can legally force an abortion, not even a parent or the father of the baby. If you feel pressure, also called coercion, you still have options.

Request an appointment to talk with a trained client consultant about your choices and your rights.

If you're thinking about abortion, a good first step is a pre-abortion consultation.

Before scheduling any procedure, an ultrasound can show whether the pregnancy is progressing. This helps determine which method you could be eligible for. Medication and surgical abortions, and their risks and costs, depend on your health history and on how far the pregnancy has developed.

An ultrasound also confirms viability. It is the only way to be sure a pregnancy is continuing. Up to one in four pregnancies stop developing, and some miscarriages are only found on ultrasound.

If a miscarriage is found, follow-up medical care is important. It can also confirm the location of the pregnancy and screen for ectopic pregnancy, which needs prompt medical care.

Abortion costs vary by the type of procedure and whether a medical abortion is an option at your stage of pregnancy. Costs can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Before any decision, it is important to know how far the pregnancy has progressed. An ultrasound at Life Choices can verify gestational age and whether the pregnancy is progressing.

Life Choices does not provide or refer for abortions. Ultrasounds are offered at no cost.

Life Choices provides no-cost ultrasounds to confirm viability and see how far along the pregnancy is. There is no charge; therefore, services at the center are not billed to insurance and will not show up on an account statement.
