Abortion Safety

At our clinic, your health and well-being are paramount. We understand that this is your pregnancy, your future, and ultimately, your choice. Our commitment is to support and empower you, ensuring you have all the necessary information to make a decision you feel confident about.

If you find yourself uncertain or have questions, we warmly invite you to speak with our knowledgeable staff or medical team.

Considering an Abortion?
Follow Our Abortion Safety Checklist:

1. Confirm Your Pregnancy

A standard pregnancy test does not provide a complete confirmation of pregnancy. An ultrasound, which we provide, will confirm the presence of a pregnancy within the uterus and determine its stage. This is essential as it affects the types of abortion procedures available to you. Free Pregnancy Test and Free Ultrasound

2. Understand the Risks

Like any medical intervention, abortions carry their own set of risks, both immediate and long-term. We recommend discussing these with our medical professionals to fully understand the potential impacts on your health. Abortion Risks

3. Consider All Alternatives

Making an informed decision involves exploring every available option—abortion, adoption, or parenting. This choice is deeply personal, and taking the time to consider all possibilities will equip you with the assurance to make the best decision for yourself.

4. Get Tested for STDs/STIs

Undergoing an abortion with an untreated STD/STI can increase the risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which may lead to future infertility or chronic pain. We offer free referrals for comprehensive STD/STI testing and treatment to safeguard your health. Free STD/STI Testing

5. Take a Moment to Reflect

When faced with a significant decision, it’s beneficial to pause and reflect on your feelings and concerns. We encourage you to visit our clinic to discuss your thoughts and questions, ensuring you are fully prepared to make an informed choice about your pregnancy.

At the Coastal Choices Women’s Clinic, we are here to guide and assist you through this critical time with compassion and care. 

Questions For You

Question: Has your pregnancy been medically confirmed?

Answer: Even if you’ve had a positive pregnancy test, you will need an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy, determine how far along you are, and rule out an ectopic or tubal pregnancy.  As many as 1 in 4 pregnancies end in a natural miscarriage, and more than 80% of miscarriages occur in the first three months of pregnancy.

Question: Are you aware of which abortion procedure is appropriate for you?

Answer: Consider all your options. Pregnancy Options. At Coastal Choices Women’s Clinic you can receive a pre-abortion screening at no-cost by a medical professional.

Question: Do you understand the details of the abortion procedure and what to expect afterwards?

Answer: At Coastal Choices Women’s Clinic you can receive a pre-abortion screening at no-cost by a medical professional.

Question: Are you informed about the possible physical and emotional risks and complications associated with the abortion procedure?

Answer: You deserve to be informed with all the facts. At Coastal Choices Women’s Clinic you can receive a pre-abortion screening at no-cost by a medical professional.

Question: Does the clinic you have chosen commit to providing care for any complications that may arise?

Answer: Remember, you are not alone in navigating this decision. We encourage you to take the time you need to consider all aspects of your choice. If you have any questions, need more information, or simply wish to talk to someone who understands, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Question: Do you know that it is completely acceptable to change your mind?

Answer: Many women who have experienced abortion relate that they felt they could not change their mind once they had entered the facility. Others say that they waited on the table to be “rescued” by the baby’s father at the last minute. Some facilities even told the women that they couldn’t get their money back if they changed their mind, which is not legal.

Abortion providers understand this choice is a difficult decision and can work to encourage you to abort even as they say, “I simply can’t do this!” Know your rights. Don’t be pressured or intimidated, particularly by the clinic staff. If you are not sure about your abortion decision, you can change your mind. If the procedure is not performed, demand your money back.

Question: Have there been any legal actions against the clinic or its physicians?

Answer: Abortion is legal in the United States, but bad medical care is not. Women have died as a result of their “safe and legal abortions.” Some have had their bodies harmed to the point that they can no longer have children. Be sure and do your research.

Question: Is a licensed physician required to perform a surgical abortion in Florida?

Answer: Yes, only a licensed physician can perform an abortion in Florida, regardless of the type of abortion or the facility where it takes place.

Question: When was your last STD/STI test?

Answer: An untreated infection can cause complications if not treated before an abortion. Coastal Choices Women’s Clinic offers free STI testing for the two most common STIs, chlamydia and gonorrhea. Make an Appointment

Question: Have you received information about the abortion pill and surgical abortion options?

Answer: We are committed to ensuring that your decision is an empowered one, rooted in full awareness and understanding. During your initial visit, we will provide detailed information about the various types of abortion procedures and thoroughly discuss all your pregnancy options with you.

Question: Are you aware of the complications related to the abortion procedure and emotional aftereffects?

Answer: At Coastal Choices Women’s Clinic, we offer complimentary medical consultations with one of our nurses during your ultrasound exam. This session gives you the opportunity to discuss your health history, address any concerns about potential complications or side effects, and openly talk about your feelings regarding the abortion process. We encourage you to take the time needed to ensure you are fully informed and supported.

Question: Do you feel any external pressure to proceed with an abortion?

Answer: It is against the law for anyone to force you to have an abortion. Not even a husband or parent can require you to undergo an abortion against your will, even if you are a minor (under 18 years old). Coastal Choices Women’s Clinic exist to help you in any circumstance. We can even help you discuss this choice with those closest to you that are influencing your decision.

Coastal Choices Has Been More Than a Blessing
