ABORTION

Many women may feel abortion is their only option. If you think you are pregnant and are considering abortion, come talk to us.

Remember, it is against the law for a woman to be compelled into abortion. With any pregnancy, you should always have a lab-grade pregnancy test, ultrasound, and consultation -- which we provide free of charge to all women.

ADOPTION

Adoption can be a good choice for many. It allows a woman to continue plans for the future and focus on career or educational goals.

PARENTING

Choosing to continue your pregnancy and to parent can be challenging. The Free Women’s Center can help you prepare a plan of action and utilize resources available.

Unplanned pregnancy?

You're not alone.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, nervous, or afraid... which is normal! We're happy to help you understand your options.

An abortion is a procedure that ends a pregnancy by taking the life of an unborn baby, often called an embryo or fetus by medical personnel depending on its age. No matter the type, abortion also poses physical and mental risks to the mother as well.

Even if you are considering an abortion, always follow these steps first:

Confirm your pregnancy. This is done via a blood or urine sample at a lab or clinic.
Get an ultrasound. Some pregnancies can occur outside of the uterus, which can be very dangerous to the mother.
Speak with a consultant. We can tell you how old your baby is and confirm the presence of a heartbeat.

UNDERSTANDING ABORTION

Abortions are performed chemically or surgically.

Chemical abortions involve taking one or more pills or receiving an injection with a lethal substance. Some two-part abortions can be reversed if the mother changes her mind and receives abortion pill reversal care.

Surgical abortions involve sucking or scraping the baby out of the mother's uterus. Some babies are killed via lethal injection before removal, some are not. Surgical abortions are not reversable.

Physical risks to abortion include infection, bleeding, abdominal pain, organ damage, emboli, complications of anesthesia, and (in extreme cases) death. Emotional risks include persistent sadness, regret, and mood/anxiety disorders. Future risks include decreased fertility, pre-term birth, low birth weight, and placenta previa in future pregnancies.
