Types of Abortions: What You Need to Know
Abortion is a widely discussed topic, yet many people still have questions about what the process involves and the different methods available. Whether you're gathering information for yourself or someone else, having accurate knowledge is essential.
Types of Abortion
There are two primary methods of abortion: medication and surgical.
Medication Abortion: This method uses two pills to terminate a pregnancy, typically within the first 10-11 weeks.
Surgical Abortion: A procedure performed by a healthcare provider in a medical setting to remove the pregnancy from the uterus. The timeframe for this procedure varies depending on state regulations and provider practices.
Abortion Laws in Texas
Currently, both medication and surgical abortions are illegal in Texas. Healthcare providers in the state cannot legally prescribe abortion pills or perform surgical abortion procedures. Understanding the legal landscape is crucial when considering your options.
