What determines the cost of an abortion?
Abortion costs are determined by several factors, including but not limited to:
-
The abortion method
-
Gestation (how far along you are)
-
Single or multiple pregnancies
Vacuum aspiration, D&C, and D&E are the most commonly performed abortion procedures.
Does an abortion hurt?
Abortion side effects vary from person to person and can depend on the procedure. Pain can include mild or intense cramping, nausea or vomiting, and pain due to uterine contractions. During an aspiration abortion, some women describe a pulling sensation. Women are given pain medication to manage side effects.
