Thinking About Abortion? Let’s Talk Cost.
What You Need to Know Before an Abortion
We understand that cost can be a factor in any pregnancy decision. If you are considering an
abortion, get the information you need before you decide. At Caring Choices Pregnancy Help Community, we can provide answers on abortion side effects, risks, and what to expect, and provide free pregnancy testing at your initial appointment. If the test is positive, we can provide an ultrasound to confirm a viable pregnancy, meaning the pregnancy has not miscarried and is not ectopic, which can help you determine your next steps.
Please note that Caring Choices PHC does not provide or refer for abortion services or have information on the exact cost of an abortion. We believe women deserve information from a resource that does not profit from their reproductive health decisions or pressure them into a choice. Remember, you are not alone in this; we can answer your questions about abortion and provide pregnancy services at no cost to you.

What Determines the Cost or Price of the Abortion Pill?
The average cost of a medication abortion can range from $800 in the first trimester and later in pregnancy can cost between $1,500- $2,000, as advertised by leading abortion providers as of September 2025.
However, the cost of a medication abortion can vary dramatically depending on the abortion clinic or provider and several other factors. Before you decide, your first step is to find out how far along you are. This information can often help determine the cost of an abortion.
A medication abortion is only available as an early termination method up to the first 10 weeks (or 70 days) of pregnancy. Online conception calculators can estimate your due date, but an ultrasound is needed to confirm a viable pregnancy. An ultrasound can also rule out an ectopic pregnancy or a naturally occurring miscarriage.
The abortion pill is only FDA-approved up to 10 weeks of gestation. The FDA also advises against ordering the abortion pill online, as it may bypass important safeguards and could be counterfeit.
What Are The Abortion Pill Symptoms, Side-Effects, and Risks?
Cramping and bleeding are expected when taking the abortion pill. Bleeding may be like a heavy period and can last up to sixteen days, possibly up to thirty days.
Additional side effects of the abortion pill include:
-
Nausea
-
Vomiting
-
Diarrhea
-
Fever
-
Chills
-
Weakness

Headache
Like any drug, the abortion pill comes with potential negative complications. Possible complications of the abortion pill can include, but are not limited to:
-
Bleeding requiring surgery to stop
-
Incomplete/missed abortion
-
Unaffected pregnancy
Risks of a surgical abortion or Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure can result in:

Perforation of the uterus

Damage to the cervix

Before taking the abortion pill, you must understand the risks, side effects, and possible complications of the abortion pill.

Things to Note: Taking the abortion pill can be life-threatening if your pregnancy is ectopic. Verifying your pregnancy could prevent you from spending money on abortion pills.
What Determines the Cost of an Abortion Clinic Procedure?
Many factors determine the cost of a surgical abortion procedure, including but not limited to:
-
How far along you are
-
Single or multiple pregnancies
-
Type of abortion procedure
-
Health history and risks to the woman
A suction abortion, also known as vacuum aspiration, is typically performed between 5 and 12 weeks of pregnancy. A D&C is typically performed between 14 and 20 weeks, although late-term abortions can also be performed via D&C.
While we are not an abortion clinic and do not have pricing information, we can provide proof of pregnancy and confirm how far along you are via ultrasound. This information can help you make an informed pregnancy decision. We can also answer questions you may have about any potential risk factors and learn more about what to expect during and after an abortion.
