- Medication Abortion (Abortion Pill): Safe and effective up to 12 weeks. It involves taking two medications under medical supervision. This process allows you to complete the abortion safely and privately, often in the comfort of your own home.
- First Trimester Surgical Abortion: A quick and effective procedure typically lasting less than 10 minutes. Patients can choose local anesthesia or sedation for comfort. Recovery is brief, and most patients are able to return to normal activities within a day.
- Early and Late Second Trimester Abortion: Available up to 24 weeks. These procedures are performed by skilled physicians using advanced medical techniques to ensure patient safety and comfort. Sedation and pain management are available, and our care team provides emotional and logistical support throughout the process.
Regional Context: Clinic Relocations and Service Capacity
Abortion providers are trying to open new clinics as close as possible to states with bans. Providers hope the new clinics can help serve the surge of patients now expected to travel for abortions. Multiple abortion providers are looking to open sites in southern Illinois — a change that “will be really helpful,” said Chelsea Souder, whose Hope Medical Clinic in Granite City, Illinois has seen its patient volume skyrocket since Roe was overturned.
Below is a summary of recent clinic relocations and planned expansions to maintain reproductive healthcare access:
| Organization | Previous/Original Location | New or Planned Location |
|---|---|---|
| Whole Woman’s Health | Texas (four clinics) | New Mexico |
| CHOICES | Memphis, Tennessee | Carbondale, Illinois |
| Red River Women’s Clinic | North Dakota | Minnesota |
| Jackson Women’s Health Organization | Jackson, Mississippi | Las Cruces, New Mexico |
| Planned Parenthood | Idaho (neighboring) | Ontario, Oregon |
Wait times for abortion appointments have increased to two to three weeks from one to two days. There will be people who have the ability and resources to travel for an abortion and are going to have a very hard time finding an appointment because the clinics are already at capacity.
Support and Financial Assistance
