## Common Abortion FAQs
##### Did You Know?
- **About 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage**, so a positive test may not mean an abortion is needed. [An ultrasound](https://www.charisclinic.org/free-ultrasound?hsLang=en) is the standard way to confirm a viable pregnancy. Charis Clinic provides no-cost viability ultrasounds. A nurse will determine eligibility.
- **The FDA approves the abortion pill through 10 weeks of pregnancy**. Accurate dating with ultrasound confirms how far along you are and whether the abortion pill is an option.
- Using only your last period date can be inaccurate and may increase the chance of an incomplete abortion. A viability ultrasound with trained medical staff gives the clearest and most reliable dating of your pregnancy.
- Someone is pressuring me to abort. What are my rights?
Many women who choose abortion say they felt pressure from others. But the decision is yours alone. **No one**—not a partner, spouse, parent, or anyone else—**has the legal right to force or threaten you into a medical or surgical abortion.**
If you feel pressured or unsupported in the thought of parenting or adoption, Charis Pregnancy Clinic will provide you with a patient consultant who will listen, explain your legal rights, and help you explore your options.
To learn more about your legal rights, visit [The Justice Foundation website.](https://thejusticefoundation.org/cafa/)
- I’m considering abortion. Should I have an ultrasound?
If you’re thinking about abortion, your best first step is a pre-abortion evaluation, which may include an ultrasound.
An ultrasound can show:
- **If your pregnancy is developing.** This matters because the stage of pregnancy and your health history affect which abortion methods are available.
- **If your pregnancy is viable.** The only way to know for sure if a pregnancy is progressing is with ultrasound. About 1 in 4 pregnancies do not continue, and some women don’t learn they’ve miscarried until it’s seen on an ultrasound. If that happens, follow-up medical care will be needed.
All ultrasounds at Charis are provided at no cost, and a nurse will determine your eligibility at your appointment.
- How much does an abortion cost?
The cost of an abortion depends on the procedure and whether the abortion pill is still an option for your stage of pregnancy. Prices can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars.
Before deciding, it’s important to know how far along you are. At Charis Pregnancy Clinic, a nurse can verify your pregnancy stage with an ultrasound. While we don’t perform or refer for abortions, we do provide no-cost ultrasounds as part of a pre-abortion assessment.
- Why should I have an ultrasound at Charis Pregnancy Clinic?
Charis Pregnancy Clinic provides no-cost ultrasounds to confirm if a pregnancy is viable and to check how far it has developed.
As a community-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Charis does not profit from your ultrasound or your pregnancy decision. Another benefit of having your ultrasound here is that, since there’s no charge, nothing is billed to insurance or added to your account.
All ultrasound information is completely confidential. You’ll meet with staff who advocate for you and give you a safe place to review your options.
You can request a confidential appointment online or call us.
If you are experiencing bleeding, spotting, or cramping, please seek medical care right away. These can be signs of miscarriage and may need treatment from a doctor.
- Do you make referrals for abortions?
Charis Pregnancy Clinic does not provide or refer for abortions or birth control. We offer education and information to help you understand your options.
Sorting through choices can feel overwhelming. If you want a safe, confidential place to talk, schedule an appointment below or send us a text. Our nurse text line is available 24/7, and no question is too hard to answer.
### Still Have Questions About Abortion?
We get it. Navigating your options can be a lot.
