Abortion Costs

The overall expense of an abortion is influenced by the chosen method and the developmental stage of the fetus, both of which are determined by how far along the pregnancy is. Generally, the cost increases as the pregnancy advances. Additionally, the fees can differ depending on the healthcare provider. Typically, clinics and private practitioners may offer more affordable rates compared to hospitals. The specific cost also hinges on the type of abortion procedure selected. Here are the estimated costs for various procedures in of January 2024:

The cost of an abortion can vary depending on several factors, including:

  • Type of abortion: Medication abortion (abortion pill) is generally less expensive than in-clinic procedures like suction aspiration or dilation and evacuation (D&E).
  • Stage of pregnancy: The further along you are in your pregnancy, the more likely it is that you’ll need a D&E, which is more expensive than earlier procedures.
  • Clinic or provider: Different clinics and providers charge different fees.
  • Your insurance coverage: Some health insurance plans cover abortion, while others don’t. If your insurance covers abortion, the out-of-pocket cost will be lower.

Here’s a general estimate of abortion costs:

  • Medication abortion: $500 to $800
  • Suction aspiration (first trimester): $475 to $1,500
  • D&E (second trimester): $1,500 to $4,000 or more

Please note that these are just estimates and the actual cost may vary.

In Alabama, abortion, including the use of the abortion pill, is effectively banned except in cases where the mother’s life is at serious risk. Here are the key points about Alabama’s abortion laws:

  • Total Ban on Abortion: Alabama has a near-total abortion ban that applies to both surgical and medication abortions (abortion pills). This ban includes all stages of pregnancy and only permits abortion if the mother’s life is at significant risk or in cases of serious medical emergencies.
  • No Exceptions for Rape or Incest: The law does not allow exceptions for cases of rape or incest.
  • Telemedicine and Abortion Pills: Telemedicine for abortion services, including the abortion pill, is not permitted. Additionally, no providers in Alabama can legally prescribe or dispense the abortion pill for terminating a pregnancy.
  • Penalties for Providers: Healthcare providers who perform abortions in violation of the law face severe penalties, including felony charges, but the law does not impose penalties on individuals seeking an abortion.

Alabama is a southeastern U.S. state and is known for its rich history, particularly its role in the Civil Rights Movement. With a humid subtropical climate, the state has a diverse economy that includes agriculture, manufacturing, and aerospace, alongside a deep cultural heritage in music and cuisine. As of 2024, the population of Alabama is projected to be 5.074 million. Universities in Alabama include: The University of Alabama, Alabama State University, Auburn University, and many other colleges and universities. The capital is Montgomery, Alabama.

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 services are free and confidential.

Question: What should I expect when I come for my visit?

Answer: Upon your arrival, a friendly receptionist will guide you to meet your client advocate. This advocate will offer you a judgment-free space to talk, followed by essential information and a pregnancy test. In the event of a positive test result, a dedicated medical professional will perform a limited 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: Pregnancy 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 your local pregnancy center. These pregnancy tests detect HCg levels within 7 to 10 after conception.

Question: Will you tell anyone about my visit?

Answer: Pregnancy centers maintain a rigorous privacy and confidentiality policy. 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: 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 a client advocate, many pregnancy centers offer on-site ultrasound scans. These limited ultrasounds are conducted by a licensed nurse sonographer 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. Many pregnancy centers offer a limited ultrasound free of charge.

These Ladies Deserve a 10 star Review!!!

"My experience was beautiful. The atmosphere was just what I needed. My husband and I found them on Google, and we decided to visit them after reviewing the amazing reviews. I must say they were very professional and caring. This is not your regular sonography center; they take their time to go through the entire process with you with so much love and care for FREE. May God continue to empower you ladies to keep up the great work you all are doing for the community to help all women. God bless you ladies!" Kayla

Very Professional and Clean Environment.

"I will definitely recommend them. They speak both English and Spanish to help those who don’t understand English all that well. Took a friend there who believed she was pregnant and with their help she found out she was. Thank you so much." Stella

A HUGE Blessing.

"The times I have interacted with our local pregnancy center have always proved to be a great experience. The work they do not only to help women in times of need with heartfelt compassion, but after that with assisting them with material goods such as diapers, car seats, etc. is awesome. Their devotion to helping women is truly inspiring." Theresa

I Had a Wonderful Experience.

"I was nervous and had many questions before I got there. I was educated on what to expect and was given a lot of useful information. This experience made my husband and I feel so much better we are excited about our new journey as parents. I would highly recommend this company and their wonderful staff to guide you on your journey. The ultrasound went smoothly and the ladies here are incredibly kind and wonderful people. I was so excited to see our ultrasound. Definitely would recommend to all women that are looking confidential, smooth, wonderful experience. I am extremely grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and their care." Alisha

Excellent Facility.

"Was recommended to me while I was going through a difficult time during my pregnancy and has just lost my job. They helped me with counseling, bible studies, support and lots of things for me and my baby. I am very grateful to have found them and all the help they have provided to me and my children." Angelina

Me and My Partner’s Experience Was Excellent!

"Our experience with them was excellent! Their response time is superb, calling the same day. They are very kind and they served the highest quality of their medical promise, not to mention it all being free. We were shown many resources that needy couples do not easily find. The environment is very home-like providing a space which is comfortable. The sonographers are down-to-earth and engage in comforting conversation before, during and after the sonogram. They are willing to keep in touch with you, and they will refer you to their extended team if you need help (i.e., free clinics, abortion references, insurance). I recommend pregnancy centers 100%, and if you are a woman or a couple which needs help, there isn't a better place to go. This team is not here to make a buck out of you: they care about you and will go above and beyond to do all they can to help you." Lamyka
