Frequently Asked Questions about Abortion

You might have lots of questions which we are happy to answer when you call or visit the clinic. We want you to be fully informed and confident about the care we provide for you. Here we provide answers to the most frequently asked abortion-related questions.

The choice between Medical abortion pills or Surgical abortion

The decision to have an abortion or continue a pregnancy is not a simple or easy one and it's important to take the time to make the best choice between a medical or surgical abortion.

The gestation of the pregnancy may mean that only one abortion option is available. A medical abortion is often preferred by women who do not want to undergo surgery, are allergic to anesthetic, or who would prefer to experience an abortion in the privacy of their own home.

A surgical abortion is also sometimes preferred by women who do not want to be conscious for the procedure and would prefer a quicker procedure with only one clinic visit. A surgical abortion is performed in a controlled medical environment

Birth Control

Birth control is a safe and easy way to prevent pregnancy. Some types of birth control can also help treat certain health problems or provide other health benefits — like making periods lighter and less painful. Almost everybody uses birth control at some point in their life.
