What are your biggest questions?

  • How much do abortions cost?

    In the US, the average cost of a first-trimester abortion (up to 12 weeks) averages between $500-600 in most of the country. The average cost of second-trimester abortion often goes up by week of pregnancy. It can vary from $500 to $12,000.

    When calling a clinic, it may be helpful to ask what the price of an abortion is based on how long ago your last period was. If you need help paying for an abortion, let the clinic know. They may be able to offer help or connect you with a local abortion fund.

    Health plans under Virginia’s Obamacare stipulations cover abortion only in cases of rape, incest, or when the pregnant person's life is in danger. Health insurance plans for public employees cover abortion only in cases danger to the pregnant person's life, fetal impairment, rape, or incest. Public funding is only available in cases of life endangerment, fetal anomaly, rape, or incest.

  • What’s an in-clinic abortion like?

    An in-clinic abortion takes place in a clinic or hospital. They’re medically very safe and 99% effective. There’s a variety of names used for in-clinic abortions, as well as different types. Some names you might come across are surgical abortion, procedural abortion, dilation and evacuation (D&E), dilation and curettage (D&C), or vacuum aspiration. It can be a bit overwhelming keeping track of all of these! What’s important is they’re all very safe and effective.

    With a first trimester in-clinic abortion (up to 12 weeks), your doctor will numb and dilate your cervix in order to insert a narrow flexible tube into your uterus. The tube will then remove the pregnancy tissue with suction. The suction portion takes about a minute and the entire procedure takes around 10 to 20 minutes.

    If you need an abortion later in pregnancy (over 13 weeks), you’ll likely have what’s called a dilation and evacuation (D&E). It may take place over two consecutive days and require multiple visits to a provider. This procedure also involves suction to empty your uterus.

    One thing to keep in mind is that in-clinic abortions later in pregnancy cost more with fewer providers to choose from. That’s why it’s helpful to contact a verified clinic as soon as you’re able to.

    Some clinics offer pain and sedation medications to help you feel more comfortable before, during, and/or after the procedure. Be sure to ask the clinic before you arrive about your options.

    If you can't afford an abortion, or the costs associated with travel, there are organizations ready to help..

  • What happens with abortion pills?

    Medication abortion is a way to terminate an early pregnancy by using medications. It’s often called the ‘abortion pill’, and it’s an option during the first ten weeks of pregnancy.

    It works through a combination of two drugs: Mifeprex and Misoprostol. At the clinic, you will swallow a tablet of Mifeprex. This pill is designed to stop the growth of the pregnancy and prepare your body to pass pregnancy tissue. Your provider will send you home with tablets of Misoprostol and instructions for the next step.

    At home, you should expect to have cramping and bleeding. You may also experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever and chills. For most people, the abortion will be complete within 24 hours. Most clinics will schedule a followup appointment to confirm the pregnancy has been terminated.

    Because you're in your state, you can skip the clinic an order pills online via Abortion on Demand or carafem - both members of the Abortion Care Network.

  • What are the abortion laws in Virginia?

    Abortion in Virginia is legal until 26 weeks since last menstrual period. Abortions after 26 weeks are banned unless the health of the pregnant person is at risk.

    Virginia does not require counseling or a waiting period before accessing abortion; however, minors under 18 must obtain parental consent or a judicial bypass in order to access care.

    One thing that isn't regulated: crisis pregnancy centers or fake clinics. In many states, there are more of these than actual abortion providers, and they will come up when you search Google or the phone book. All providers on ineedana.com have been verified as real providers.
