How Much Do Abortions Cost?
Factoring costs when considering any medical procedure is critical. Expenses can add up quickly and may be more than you think. Insurance can also play a major role.
If you’re seeking an abortion for your unplanned pregnancy, it’s essential to understand what costs you’ll be responsible for and whether this option is best.
Understanding New York’s Laws
In New York, abortion is legal through 24 weeks gestation. They are only allowed after this time if a physician deems your “health or pregnancy are at risk.”
Without insurance, an abortion can cost anywhere from $500 to over $2,000. The cost varies depending on your location, gestational age (how far along you are), and which abortion procedure you seek.
Additional expenses include follow-up care, time taken off from work, and any childcare expenses. If you have complications and require medical treatment, you can expect to have other costs.
Before Making a Pregnancy Decision
Before choosing abortion or another pregnancy decision, you need to gather information. Soundview offers access to medical-grade pregnancy testing to confirm your pregnancy. You may have received a false result from an at-home kit.
If your result is positive, you should have an ultrasound to determine your pregnancy’s viability (whether the pregnancy is progressing normally), gestational age, and location.
Up to 26% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, which may require monitoring or medical treatment. Also, some women experience ectopic pregnancies, which occur when the fertilized egg implants in a location other than the uterus. This condition requires medical intervention.
An ultrasound helps protect your health and inform you of your pregnancy options. Soundview provides options education so you can learn about abortion, adoption, and parenting. As a 501c3 that does not provide or refer for abortions, we do not profit from your pregnancy decision. We are here to ensure you receive the facts you need to make an informed decision.
