An unplanned pregnancy can be one of the most difficult things a woman may face.  All our family planning programs offer pregnancy testing and info to help you make a decision about your options.  Our trained counselors provide objective info to support you and the decision you make. Talking with people you think will be supportive of you may be helpful, such as family members, sexual partner, friends, counselors, and other professionals. Whatever decision you make, the choice should be yours.

You can get a medication abortion (also known as abortion pills) at any of our clinic locations for pregnancies up to 10 weeks and 6 days. Our caring staff provide safe abortion care and non-judgmental support throughout the process.

Despite the restrictions on reproductive healthcare in other parts of the country, abortion is protected in Massachusetts through 24 weeks of pregnancy. We provide Medical Abortions from 6 to 11 weeks, and Surgical Abortions from 6 through 24 weeks.

Surgical abortions can be performed with anesthesia, including  local anesthesia, conscious sedation, or full anesthesia.  

Our telephone counselors are available to schedule appointments within a  few days, and review anesthesia options. Same day appointments may be available.
