Do you feel rushed to make an abortion decision? We know a pregnancy decision is not easy, but you should never feel rushed into any decision regarding your pregnancy. If considering abortion, it’s important to understand abortion laws and pregnancy confirmation to choose an abortion clinic in PA.
It’s important to note that abortion in PA is legal up to 24 weeks. Here are a couple of steps to take before choosing an abortion clinic in PA and what you need to know about abortion.
Get Pregnancy Confirmation

- How far along you are (gestational age)
- The location of your pregnancy (whether it’s growing within your uterus)
- The viability of your pregnancy (if it’s growing)
