There are two primary types of abortion: an in-clinic procedure (known as a surgical abortion), and a medical procedure (known as the abortion pill). The method used varies from patient to patient and is chosen based on how far along the pregnancy is. This is usually determined by having an ultrasound performed.
A surgical abortion is used to terminate a pregnancy in either the first or second trimester. The medical abortion, by comparison, is a pill or pills ingested orally within the first few weeks of pregnancy. Each type of abortion comes with its own set of risks, which is why it’s important to learn all of the facts before undergoing either procedure. No matter what, give yourself time to think about your options before reaching a final decision.
