You can have an abortion with a doctor, in an abortion clinic or in the health centers of Planned Parenthood. It is possible that you can perform the abortion for free or at a reduced price.

Where can I have an abortion?
You can have an abortion at many Planned Parenthood health centers. Our compassionate doctors and nurses are experts in carrying out safe abortions and provide support throughout the process. You can also go to some gynecologists or private doctors, family planning clinics and clinics where abortions are done to undergo this procedure. Contact your local Planned Parenthood health center to get more information on where to get abortion services in your area.

Depending on where you live, there may be age restrictions or waiting periods for an abortion. You can ask about this when you call to request a medical appointment. All abortions are very safe, but it can be difficult to find a provider to perform after the 12th week of pregnancy, so it is better to have an abortion as soon as possible.

When looking for a place to have an abortion, be careful with the centers for the pregnant woman in crisis. These fake clinics resemble medical centers that offer abortion services or other options for pregnancy, but, in reality, they are run by people who want to scare or embarrass patients so they do not have an abortion.

How much does it cost to have an abortion?
An abortion that takes place in the first trimester costs up to $ 1,500, but, generally, the amount is less. The price of an abortion depends on where you do it (hospitals tend to be more expensive) and whether you have health insurance or not to cover the cost in whole or in part. The cost also varies depending on how advanced the pregnancy is. Abortion in the second trimester is usually more expensive.

If you have health insurance, it is possible that the abortion is free or has a reduced cost, but some health insurance plans do not cover abortions. You can call your health insurance provider directly to find out more about the policies.

In certain states, some government health insurance plans, like Medicaid, cover abortion, but others do not. And some plans only cover abortion in certain cases. Your local Planned Parenthood health center can give you more information about your state's coverage or other forms of payment so you can have an abortion.

Planned Parenthood works to offer you the services you need, whether you have health insurance or not. If you're worried about the cost, contact your local Planned Parenthood health center to find out if they can offer you health care that fits your budget
