You have the right to decide the outcome of your pregnancy without being coerced. No one, including your partner, boyfriend, spouse, or parent, has the legal authority to force you into a medical or surgical abortion. If you feel pressured, connect with Birth Choice for advocacy and education on your legal rights.

Remember, nobody can compel you to undergo an abortion, not even your parents or the baby's father. If you're experiencing pressure or coercion, reach out to us for a confidential appointment with a trained client advocate to discuss your options and legal rights. In case of immediate danger or safety concerns, call 911.

If you're thinking about abortion, start by confirming the viability of your pregnancy with an ultrasound.

An ultrasound will determine:

The gestational age of the pregnancy. This knowledge is important in determining which method of abortion you would be eligible for. Each type of abortion procedure and cost depends on your personal health history and how far your pregnancy has progressed.

To determine the viability of your pregnancy, the most reliable method is to undergo an ultrasound. Studies indicate that up to one in four pregnancies may not progress, and some miscarriages are only detected through ultrasound. If a miscarriage is confirmed, seeking follow-up care from a doctor may be necessary.

An ultrasound will confirm that the pregnancy is in the uterus. When the pregnancy is outside of the uterus, this is considered an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies can be life-threatening and require further medical attention.

The cost of an abortion varies based on the gestational age of the pregnancy. It can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, according to SDWC.

The type of procedure and the safety of the abortion pill at your pregnancy stage also influence the cost. To make an informed decision, it's essential to determine the progress of your pregnancy. Birth Choice of San Marcos provides free ultrasounds to verify pregnancy progression, even though we do not perform or refer for pregnancy terminations.
