How Much Does an Abortion Cost?

How Much Is An Abortion? If you’re considering abortion, cost is likely one of the first questions on your mind. The answer depends on several factors. Below is a simple guide to help you understand potential expenses and explore your options.

 

Do I need an Ultrasound?

One important first step is getting an ultrasound. An ultrasound confirms how far along you are, which directly affects both the cost and the type of abortion available to you. It also helps identify important details about your pregnancy that impact your health and safety. To make sure you have the full picture, schedule your free ultrasound by clicking this link.

 

Types of Abortion

There are two main types of abortion: surgical and medical. The option available to you depends on how far along you are and the laws in your state.

  • A surgical abortion is a procedure performed by a doctor to remove the pregnancy.1 It usually takes place in a clinic and is generally more expensive than a medical abortion.

  • A medical abortion (often called the abortion pill) uses medication to end a pregnancy.2 The FDA has approved it for use within the first 70 days of pregnancy.


Cost of an Abortion

  • Surgical Abortion: Costs typically range from $800–$2,000, though the total can be higher depending on travel, medications, and insurance coverage, as advertised by abortion providers in 2024. If surgical abortion is restricted in your state, traveling elsewhere can significantly increase the overall expense.

  • Abortion Pill: The cost of the abortion pill varies widely, ranging from free to around $800. Additional expenses may include rush shipping fees if ordered online, particularly from international sources. Laws in your area may also affect availability and create added challenges.

Risks of Ordering the Abortion Pill Online

Regardless of legality in your state, ordering the abortion pill online carries potential medical and legal risks. Pills purchased from unregulated international sellers, especially those not approved by the FDA, may not be safe.3

It’s also important to confirm your pregnancy with a medical-grade test before taking any medication. At-home pregnancy tests can occasionally produce false positives, and taking abortion medication when you are not pregnant can be harmful. Schedule your free pregnancy test here.

Taking the abortion pill without medical supervision may increase the risk of improper use and serious health complications.4 Seeking professional medical guidance is important for your safety.
