Abortion Information

There are a variety of abortion options available in Louisiana. Before you decide if, when, and where to have an abortion, your first step is a medical consultation and diagnosis. Care Pregnancy Clinic offers a free pre-termination evaluation to help you navigate your pregnancy decisions.

Before Considering Abortion

If you’re pregnant and considering abortion, your first step is to schedule a free pre-termination evaluation to answer these three essential questions:

1: Will my pregnancy end naturally?

A positive pregnancy test does not mean that your pregnancy will continue. Up to one in four pregnancies end naturally on their own, most often before 7 weeks.1 Do not risk your health (or spend your money) to abort a pregnancy that may already be ending naturally.

2: How far along am I?

Gestational age determines the type and cost of abortion procedures that you could be eligible for. Gestational age can be estimated from the first day of your last menstrual period, but only an ultrasound exam can accurately determine how far along your pregnancy is. In one study, first trimester ultrasound corrected gestational age estimates for over 41% of women.2

3: Do I have an STD?

Having any type of abortion with an untreated STD jeopardizes a woman’s health by increasing her risk of infection and other complications.3 Since over 70% of women who have Chlamydia do not have any symptoms,4 it is critical to get tested before pursuing an abortion.

Care Pregnancy Clinic’s free pre-termination evaluation will give you the answers you need to make the decision that’s best for you. If you think you may be pregnant, call, text or schedule online today.
