This Method Is Not FDA-Approved
The FDA does not recommend ordering abortion drugs online. These drugs are often sent from unregulated or overseas sources, so they come with extra risks.
Their quality, safety, and effectiveness also can’t be guaranteed because they don’t have to meet the same safety standards as licensed medical providers. Women won’t necessarily know whether the drugs they’re taking are the correct type of dosage.
Proper Oversight Won’t Be Provided
Since an online abortion doesn’t include adequate medical consultations, check-ups, or an ultrasound, oversight from a healthcare provider will be absent. This means that women might take abortion drugs without knowing whether they’re eligible or miss warning signs of complications.
If you are pregnant, you should always have an ultrasound to confirm where your pregnancy is located, whether it’s progressing, and how far along you are. Without these details, moving forward with an abortion can pose health risks, especially if it may not be an option for you.
Our medical facility offers limited ultrasounds so that you can receive this critical information. With the facts in hand, you can weigh your options, learn about the risks and side effects of abortion procedures, and explore parenting and adoption.
Our clinic is here to help. You’ll be treated with the respect and sensitivity you deserve.

Ultrasounds
If you are pregnant, an ultrasound will help determine how far along you are, if the pregnancy is viable (growing), and if it’s located in the correct place. We offer limited obstetric ultrasounds at no cost.
STD Testing
When a person engages in sex or sex-like activity, there’s a chance of contracting an STD. Most people with an STD don’t have immediate symptoms. Regular testing helps prevent later physical risks. We offer no-cost and confidential STD testing to women and men.
