What actually happens during an abortion? 

What is the abortion pill (mifepristone (Mifeprex), also known as RU-486)? Is it the same as Plan B? How much does it cost? Is it safe?

Great questions! At Options for 8, Inc. Pregnancy Resource Center, a client advocate will answer your questions about abortion. She can show you videos of how abortion works if you’re interested. It’s a lot of information, so your client advocate will also give you a handout to keep.

To learn more about how abortion works and the risks involved, contact us. Call or text.

Do abortion pill reversals work?

Sometimes, if a woman has only taken the first abortion pill, but has not taken the second pill, she can reverse her abortion.

Abortion pill rescue works best within 24 hours of taking the first pill. Call 877.558.0333 or go to AbortionPillReversal.com to find doctors who perform abortion pill reversals.

We can explain the medical basis of how abortion pill reversals work.

We do not perform abortion pill reversals at Options for 8, Inc. Pregnancy Resource Center.

Do you think you might be pregnant?

We use accurate urine pregnancy tests. In order to best serve you, we include a pregnancy test as part of an intake appointment. No insurance is needed. We’ll ask you some questions to learn about your unique situation and tailor our services to your needs. We’ll also have you fill out some paperwork.

Intake appointments typically take about an hour so that we can provide you with comprehensive care.

You just found out you’re pregnant. Now what?

Do you want to keep the baby, or do you feel you cannot?

Your feelings and fears are valid. Talk through your pregnancy options with an experienced client advocate who has helped many women in your exact situation.

Some of our client advocates have personally faced unplanned pregnancy. You are probably thinking about what you can afford, what season of life you are in, and what this will do to your relationships.

Many clients have asked us these questions over the years so we can help answer yours as well. Questions about abortion, parenting, and adoption are all fair game. You may feel that life as you know it is ending, but this could be a new beginning.

Are you looking for some support?

We’re always here to answer your questions, be a listening ear, and brainstorm solutions together.

Knowledge is power. We want to empower you with information for pregnancy and post-partum through our online video courses (more on that here.) You can Earn While You Learn, gaining points you can spend on items in our Resource Room. Resources include baby supplies like formula, diapers, clothing, and large baby items like cribs, car seats, and Pack ‘N Plays.

If we don’t have something, just ask and we’ll find a way to get it. For example, we source breast pumps through WIC.

Limited OB Ultrasounds:

After receiving a positive pregnancy test, you will be scheduled for a limited obstetrical ultrasound. During this appointment our ultrasound tech will confirm and date your pregnancy and rule out an ectopic pregnancy. You will also get to see your baby, which many mothers have found helpful in making their decision. Receiving an ultrasound is important for the health of the mother and baby and gives you necessary information in deciding what next steps to take.
