  • Induction Abortion: For later gestations (usually beyond 25 weeks), this approach uses medication to induce labor and complete the abortion process in a hospital setting.

During your visit, you will be welcomed by our non-judgmental staff. We prioritize your comfort and offer several options for pain management, including mild to moderate sedation at no additional cost.
