Information on abortion

Are you thinking about getting an abortion? Women who face unexpected pregnancies often view abortion as a quick way out of an uncomfortable situation. However, you must understand that abortion is a decision that will impact you for the rest of your life. Before making a final decision, you should learn about all your pregnancy options, then decide which one is best for you.
When considering an abortion, your health and safety are important. Remember, abortion is a medical procedure. The Hope Center provides a place where you can get answers to your questions and acquire medically accurate education that will enable you to make an informed choice.

Abortion Types

Medication Abortion

A medication abortion, which is also known as the "abortion pill," can be taken up to 10 weeks after conception. This type of abortion works by ending the flow of progesterone at the pregnancy site and causes a miscarriage that forces your fetus from your body through vaginal bleeding, painful cramps, and severe discomfort.

Surgical Abortion

Once your pregnancy has progressed beyond 10 weeks, a medication abortion is no longer a viable option and you will be left only with the surgical option. A surgical abortion involves the use of tools and local anesthesia to open the cervix and remove the fetus by use of forceps or suction. After this procedure, a woman can expect to deal with cramping, bleeding, fever, and discomfort.

The Hope Center does not provide or make referrals for abortion or emergency contraception. What we do provide is the education and resources you will need to make an informed decision.
