Facing an unplanned pregnancy can be overwhelming, and it’s essential to have accurate information to make the best decision for your health and well-being. At Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we provide non-judgmental, free services to support you during this time.
Understanding Abortion
Abortion is a medical procedure that terminates a pregnancy. There are different methods available, primarily medical (medication-induced) and surgical, depending on factors like how far along the pregnancy is. Each method carries its own procedures, risks, and considerations. It’s crucial to be well-informed about these aspects before making a decision.
Make an informed decision
Not all abortions are the same. It’s important to learn the facts before making a decision:
- What kinds of procedures are available to you?
- What are your rights with providers?
- Are there any short-term or long-term risks to consider?
- What are your legal rights?
- Are there any other options available?
- How far along are you?
- Are you at risk for natural miscarriage?
- Do you have an ectopic pregnancy requiring immediate medical attention?
We can help you answer these questions and educate you on the risks of each option so that you can make a medically-informed decision.
The procedure to end a pregnancy will involve either medicine or surgery to remove the embryo or fetus and placenta from the uterus. The procedure is done by a licensed healthcare professional.
Abortion Pill Reversal
The Abortion Pill Reversal offers a vital opportunity for women who have ingested the abortion pill and are reconsidering their decision. We are committed to providing support for women who choose to give their unborn child a chance at life. In instances where others might suggest that it is too late, the reversal procedure presents a pathway to choose life. It is important to note that this procedure is most effective when initiated within 72 hours of taking the abortion pill.

The Importance of Ultrasound Before an Abortion
A positive pregnancy test does not always indicate a sustainable pregnancy; however, an ultrasound can confirm what is happening in your body. This valuable information will help you better understand what options are available to you.
An ultrasound is a vital step before proceeding with an abortion for several reasons:
1. Confirming Pregnancy Location: An ultrasound verifies that the pregnancy is developing within the uterus. In rare cases, a pregnancy can occur outside the uterus, known as an ectopic pregnancy, which is a serious medical condition requiring immediate attention.
2. Determining Gestational Age: Knowing how far along the pregnancy is (gestational age) influences the types of abortion procedures available and their associated risks. Accurate dating is essential for your safety and to comply with any legal considerations.
3. Assessing Pregnancy Viability: An ultrasound can detect a fetal heartbeat and determine if the pregnancy is viable or if there are any concerns, such as a miscarriage. This information is crucial in making an informed decision.
