Before You Arrive
- Please be sure to bring your government-issued ID with you to your appointment. The name on your ID must match the name you gave when you scheduled the appointment.
- Due to Alabama law, we can only schedule an initial consultation visit for your abortion. Your abortion will occur at an additional visit, which we will schedule onsite after your first appointment.
- There will be a payment due at your initial visit and an additional payment due at your abortion visit. The staff will discuss this with you at your first visit. You may qualify to be screened for financial assistance. You can call (404) 688-9300 if you'd like to discuss this more before your visit.
At the Appointment
- Please note: you will speak with a health professional at your appointment about your medical information and all of your options, and you will be able to ask questions. Any information can be updated at that time.
- For the safety and privacy of you and all of our patients, please do not bring children with you to your appointment.
- Your appointment time is when you are expected to arrive at the health center for check-in and does not reflect when you will see the provider.

Here’s what you need to know about abortion services in Alabama:
Abortion Pill
The abortion pill (medication abortion) is offered up to 11 weeks and 0 days after the start of your last menstrual period.
You will need to follow up within 1-2 weeks of your appointment to make sure your abortion is complete and that you are well. In the unlikely event that you are still pregnant, you may need another dose of medication or to have an in-clinic abortion to end the pregnancy.
After your abortion pill visit, you will need access to a telephone and transportation in case backup medical care is needed while finishing the process at home.
