Abortion Pill Mifepristone Notice
Currently, the chemical “abortion pill” regimen approved by the FDA is comprised of two different drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol. A chemical abortion uses both of these drugs to end a pregnancy and then expel the fetus from the body.
The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine states that the FDA’s expedited approval process made no attempt to study the impact of mifepristone and misoprostol on women under 18 and has led to significant harm to girls and women, resulting in a large percentage of them requiring additional surgical abortions, emergency department visits, contracting infections, and undergoing hemorrhaging.2
The abortion pill impacts each woman’s health differently. Do not take the abortion pill without first meeting with a licensed healthcare provider to fully understand how it could impact you and your health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Do I need an appointment?
Answer: Walk-ins are welcome. However, it is best to make an appointment to minimize your office wait time.
Question: What is the cost?
Answer: All our services are free and confidential.
Question: What should I expect when I come for my visit?
Answer: Upon your arrival, our friendly receptionist will introduce you to a registered nurse that will provide your care. This RN will offer you a judgement-free space to talk, followed by essential information and a pregnancy test. In the event of a positive test result, your nurse will perform a limited obstetric ultrasound to verify the pregnancy's viability and estimate the age of the fetus.
Question: How long after sex does it take for a pregnancy test to work and how accurate is the test?
Answer: Our tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A client with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.
If you have taken a home pregnancy test, you may want to confirm results with a laboratory-quality test at our medical office. Our tests detect HCg levels within 7 to 10 after conception.
Question: Will you tell anyone about my visit?
Answer: We maintain a rigorous privacy and confidentiality policy. Our clients' information is safeguarded against unauthorized disclosure, respecting their right to privacy, except in instances mandated by law. This includes situations necessary for public health, preventing harm to the client or others, or in specific circumstances where the use or disclosure of information is justified without prior consent, such as in cases of abuse reporting or suicide/homicide prevention.
Question: When should I schedule an appointment?
Answer: Our high-quality, medical-grade pregnancy tests are capable of detecting pregnancy from the first day after your initial missed period. We advise scheduling an appointment if you've missed a period, have any queries related to pregnancy, or suspect that you might be pregnant.
Question: How far along do I have to be to get a free ultrasound?
Answer: After an initial consultation with one of our RN's, we offer on-site ultrasound scans. These limited ultrasounds are conducted by “a registered nurse or a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS)” and are subsequently reviewed by a licensed physician. The purpose of an ultrasound is to confirm the viability of the pregnancy and to establish the gestational age.
Question: I already know I'm pregnant and I want an abortion, what's next?
Answer: It is advisable to have an ultrasound to confirm the viability of your pregnancy and to ensure it is located within the uterus, as 20% to 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Moreover, the ultrasound helps in determining the stage of your pregnancy, which is essential in making an informed decision about the type of abortion procedure you may consider. We offer a limited ultrasound free of charge.
