Abortion in Meriden, CT
We offer the following abortion services:
Abortion Pill (Medication Abortion)
If your last period was more than 10 weeks and 6 days ago, we can still help. Call us for a referral list of health care providers in your area that offer other abortion services.
Abortion pill (medication abortion) services are available by appointment only.
Plan to be at the health center for 1.5-2 hour(s) for your entire visit.
Your appointment will include the opportunity to ask questions & discuss birth control options.
If you want, we can follow up with you to make sure your abortion worked and that you are well. In the unlikely event that you are still pregnant, you may need another dose of medicine or to have an in-clinic abortion to end the pregnancy.
We’ll also give you after-care instructions and a phone number you can call with any questions or concerns.
Connecticut Requirements
Informed Consent
Prior to an abortion, a patient must receive information about the procedure from a counselor. The patient must sign a consent form that describes the "nature and consequences of the procedure which shall be used."
Post-Viability Abortion Restriction
Connecticut's post-viability restriction provides that no abortion may be performed after viability unless necessary to preserve the woman's life or health.
Young Women's Access to Abortion
A patient under 16 can obtain an abortion after receiving counseling from a PPC registered nurse or clinician. While we encourage all young people to talk with their parents, guardians, or trusted adults about their reproductive and sexual health, in the state of CT, adult permission (from a parent or guardian) is not required for them to receive services from Planned Parenthood.
If you are under the age of 18 and need help talking with your parents/caregivers or seeking judicial bypass we can help.

Please contact this health center for abortion services pricing information.
Payment is expected at time of service unless other arrangements have been made.
Abortion services may be covered by your insurance. If you want to use your insurance, please be sure to have your insurance information at the time of your visit.
