Abortion Safety at 12 Weeks: What You Need to Know

Question
I am 12 weeks pregnant today. I am currently considering abortion but I know I wont have the funds this week. I had an abortion back in February of this year. No complications or anything. I guess my question is, how safe is this abortion at this point and time.

Answer
Dear Tiffany,

An abortion is still safe now, although not as safe as it would have been a month ago.  I would ask this question directly of your doctor at the clinic.  You could even ask when you are making your appointment.  Also, ask them about a payment plan, because you really should not put this off any longer.  Some clinics will not do the procedure after a certain amount of weeks have passed.

Good luck,

Deb
