Methods of Abortion

  • MEDICAL ABORTION

    Medication abortion also called the abortion pill, can be taken up to 70 days (10 weeks pregnant). The abortion pill is taken in two doses, one typically at a doctor’s office and the other at home.1


    The FDA specifically warns people not to buy the abortion pill, or the generic version on the Internet because it by-passes safeguards.2,3

  • SURGICAL ABORTION

    There are several types of surgical abortions. Suction aspiration, also called suction curettage, or vacuum aspiration abortion, is performed during the first 6 to 14 weeks gestational stage. Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) is another type of procedure typically done in later weeks. Both types have risks and side-effects and greatly vary depending on your gestation and health.4

How We Can Help

If you’re considering abortion, we’re here to assist you with free services and information. Our licensed healthcare professionals offer limited obstetric ultrasounds at no cost to confirm a viable pregnancy and provide details about your available options. We offer evidence-based information about all your pregnancy options; however, we do not offer or refer for abortion services.

  • 1. Get informed about abortion laws and restrictions in our state

    If you’re uncertain about the new abortion restrictions, we’re here to answer your questions and provide guidance. Please call 386-822-9797 or text 386-888-7383 to speak with us now.

  • 2. Access free ultrasound services

    Our centers offer free ultrasounds to confirm the viability of your pregnancy and estimate its gestational age.5 This information is crucial when considering abortion.


    Ultrasound exams can also:

    • Date the pregnancy
    • Rule out ectopic pregnancy (outside the uterus) or molar pregnancy (a tumor in the uterus)6
    • Confirm pregnancy viability (approximately 15% of pregnancies naturally end in miscarriage)7
  • 3. Determine eligibility for the abortion pill

    Before contemplating the abortion pill, it’s essential to determine the stage of your pregnancy. The FDA approves the abortion pill for pregnancies up to 70 days (10 weeks) after the last menstrual period.8 We can provide you with vital information about your pregnancy and whether the abortion pill is an option.9 It’s important to note that some women should not take the abortion pill; learn more.


    If you are not eligible for a medical abortion, a surgical procedure known as suction/vacuum aspiration may be an alternative. An ultrasound can help determine the appropriate abortion procedure before making any decisions.

  • 4. Receive STI testing

    STI testing helps assess your overall sexual health. Undiagnosed or untreated STIs can lead to complications, especially during or after an abortion procedure.

  • 5. Enroll in our after-abortion care program

    Coastal Choices Women’s Clinic  provides after-abortion care in DeLand, Florida.


    Abortion can often trigger a high-stress reaction. It is not uncommon to experience symptoms of post-abortion grief and trauma. These emotions may surface days, months, or even years after the initial experience, and they can lead to significant emotional distress. Whether you are currently contemplating abortion or have already undergone the procedure, we warmly invite you to participate in our after-abortion care program.

To better understand your options, we encourage you to schedule an appointment to meet with our medical team and learn fact-based, detailed information about abortion. Our caring team is here to assist you in making informed decisions. You don’t have to navigate this experience alone – we’re here for you. Contact us to learn more and explore your options in DeLand, Florida.
