Doesn’t my insurance cover the cost?
Some insurance companies cover a portion of the cost of an abortion. However, most women still end up paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket.
Factors that impact cost
The cost of an abortion depends on many factors, such as:
- how far along your pregnancy is
- what insurance you have
- if there are any complications with your pregnancy
Other Options
If you are considering abortion because of financial reasons, you should also consider adoption, which is completely free to you. Adoption agencies can cover your medical costs, legal costs, and other financial services, including housing. You can also receive free counseling from the adoption agency. It is a myth that adoption is expensive for the birth mother. Adoption expenses are associated with the adoptive parents, so that the birth mother doesn’t have to pay for any of her own expenses associated with the pregnancy process or birth of her child.
If you are worried about your financial situation and the cost of an abortion, Women’s Care Mary’s Center can help. We provide free services to help support you financially on your journey. We make it easy for you to get connected with government aid, adoption agencies, or whatever else you are looking for.
