Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between D&E and other types of surgical abortion?
D&E, or dilation and evacuation, is a method of surgical abortion typically used between 18 and 25 weeks of pregnancy. It involves gently dilating the cervix and removing pregnancy tissue using specialized instruments and suction. This is different from aspiration abortion, which is more common in earlier stages of pregnancy and uses suction alone.

Is it legal to travel from Sahuarita, AZ to New Mexico for a surgical abortion?
Yes, it is legal for Arizona residents to travel to New Mexico for abortion care. New Mexico law allows individuals from out of state to receive abortion services without restriction based on residency.

How do I know which surgical abortion procedure is right for me?
Our medical team will assess your health history and pregnancy stage using our pregnancy calculator and a thorough consultation. Based on this evaluation, we will recommend the safest and most appropriate procedure, whether that is aspiration abortion, D&E, or induction abortion.
