MEDICAL ABORTION (Abortion Pill)
Medication abortion also called the abortion pill, can be taken up to 70 days (10 weeks pregnant). The abortion pill is taken in two doses, one typically at a doctor’s office and the other at home.1

The FDA specifically warns people not to buy the abortion pill, or the generic version on the Internet because it by-passes safeguards.2,3

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. Both types have risks and side-effects and greatly vary depending on your gestation and health.4

→ LATE ABORTION RESTRICTIONS
Late abortions (terminations performed after 20 weeks of pregnancy) are currently banned in Maryland, but exceptions are made in cases where the pregnancy is putting the mother’s life or health at severe risk, or in cases of fetal anomalies presenting themselves.

→ PARENTAL NOTIFICATION
Parents of minors who are seeking a termination must be notified before any procedure can be performed. Exceptions are made in certain situations, such as where a notification would put the health or wellbeing of the minor in danger.

Our centers offer limited obstetric ultrasounds free of charge. An ultrasound will help you learn more about your pregnancy and options.

  • Do an ultrasound exam to date the pregnancy and check that it’s not outside the uterus (ectopic pregnancy) and not a tumor that developed in the uterus (molar pregnancy).1
  • Find out if your pregnancy is viable. About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage but the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur very early in pregnancy. 2
  • Can you take the abortion pill? Before taking the abortion pill you will need to know exactly how far along you are and a few other things as well.3 We can help learn more about your pregnancy and if the abortion pill is an option for you with our free ultrasound services.
  • If you can’t have a medical abortion, a surgical procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C) may be an option. Find out how far along in pregnancy you are with our free ultrasound services.
