Types of Abortion
There are two main types of abortion: surgical and medical. The right option for you depends on how far along you are and your state's laws.
A surgical abortion is done by a doctor in a clinic to remove the pregnancy. It’s typically more expensive and involves a procedure.
A medical abortion, often called the abortion pill, uses medication to end the pregnancy. The FDA approves it only within the first 70 days from the start of your last period.
Cost of an Abortion
Surgical Abortion:
Costs usually range from $800 to $2,000, though they can be higher depending on travel, medications, and whether your insurance covers it. If surgical abortion isn’t legal in your state, traveling elsewhere can raise the overall cost significantly.
Abortion Pill:
The abortion pill can cost anywhere from free to $800, depending on where you get it. If ordered online—especially from international sources—rush shipping and legal restrictions in your area may add costs and risks.
Risks of Ordering the Abortion Pill Online
Whether or not the abortion pill is legal in your state, ordering it online comes with serious risks—both medical and legal. Pills from international sellers that aren’t FDA-approved can be unsafe, and you can’t always be sure of what you’re receiving.
Taking the abortion pill without confirming your pregnancy can also harm your health. At-home tests can give false positives, so it's important to get a medical-grade test. You can schedule a free pregnancy test with us today.
Self-administering the abortion pill without medical support increases the risk of misuse and complications. Professional guidance is essential for your safety.
