Abortion
Where can you get an abortion and how much do they cost?
The best way to find an abortion provider in your area is to look in the yellow pages under �abortion.� You can also visit www.naral.org or www.naf.org to locate a provider. Or, you can call your local Planned Parenthood or family planning clinic for a referral. They should be listed in your phone book, under �family planning clinics.�
The cost of an abortion depends mostly on how soon after you get pregnancy that you go for an abortion. Abortions performed earlier in a pregnancy � during the three months � have fewer risks and cost less. Typically, a surgical abortion costs about $295 and medical abortions cost $350. Costs may be more or less depending on where you live. Some clinics offer sliding fee scales, which means that you pay only what you can. Be sure to ask.
One more thing, if your family receives Medicaid, publicly funded health insurance for low-income people, Medicaid may pay for abortion services. It depends on the state you live in. Click here for more information. http://www.agi-usa.org/pubs/spib_SFAM.pdf.
