The Abortion Pill | Medical Abortion

We provide info on medical abortions, first-trimester options, and free limited pregnancy services.

What is the abortion pill?

The abortion pill is actually two drugs and it’s taken in two separate doses. It is also called a medication or chemical abortion.​ ​

How does it work? When is it taken?

The abortion pill is FDA-approved up to 10 weeks after a woman's last menstrual period. The abortion pill is not an option for people with certain medical conditions, if the pregnancy is not viable, or if the pregnancy occurs outside of the uterus. 

How we can help

Make an appointment for a free pregnancy confirmation and options consultation. We can determine how far along you are, inform you about the options available to you, and answer any questions you may have about pregnancy, abortion, and the abortion pill.  We believe women deserve answers from a place that does not profit from their reproductive health choices. We do not refer for or perform abortions or financially benefit from any decision you make.
