Pregnancy Options 

Parenting includes giving birth and raising your baby to adulthood. 

There are many things to think about when considering parenting. Family, relationships, money, school, work, life goals, personal beliefs, and the well-being of your future child — most people think carefully about all of these things before choosing to parent. But every person’s situation is different, and only you can decide what’s best in your case.

The process of adoption is when you give birth and then choose someone else to parent your child. It’s a permanent, legal agreement where you agree to place your child in the care of another person or family permanently. Some people choose adoption when faced with a pregnancy. Information and support is important, but the decision is personal and only you know what’s best for you.

An abortion is a safe, common, and effective medical procedure that ends a pregnancy.  

In-clinic abortion: 

• A medical professional examines the uterus through an ultrasound

• There are options to manage pain (ask your health provider about your options)

• Most in-clinic procedures use suction that is done through the vagina to empty out the uterus

• Staff will support you, record your vital signs, and review after-care instructions with you 

Medical Abortion (the abortion pill):

• You can get medication for an abortion at an in-person appointment or through a telehealth provider (with meds mailed directly to you)

• The medication you take (at home or in a safe place) will cause the uterus to contract to expel the pregnancy usually within 4-12hours

• Less than 5% of patients may need to take additional medication or have a procedure to complete the abortion
