considerations

Most abortions are performed after your health care provider takes a brief look at your medical history. You will be asked questions about prior pregnancies and any treatment or care during that pregnancy. Most abortion counseling focuses on the decision-making process. The counseling process is aimed primarily at the women herself but may also include other people she chooses to be involved. After the procedure you may be referred for ongoing counseling and suppport. You may be given medication for pain but this is often not necessary.
