Here's what you need to know about abortion services in Georgia:
Abortion Pill (Medication Abortion)
- Abortion pill (medication abortion) is offered up to 11 weeks and 0 days after the start of your last menstrual period.
- If your last period was more than 11 weeks ago, we can still help. Call us for a referral list of health care providers in your area that offer other abortion services.
