The Abortion Restrictions in Florida
Since May 2024, abortion has been illegal in Florida after six weeks of gestation, with certain exceptions. These exceptions include the following:
-
Before the third trimester: If two doctors verify that a fatal fetal abnormality is present.
-
At any time: If a doctor or doctor’s state that abortion is necessary “to save the pregnant woman’s life or avert a serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman other than a psychological condition.”
Where to Begin
Before making major medical decisions such as abortion, you will want to go about confirming your pregnancy with pregnancy testing and an ultrasound. A positive pregnancy test cannot tell you how far along you are in pregnancy or if you’re experiencing a complication.
At Women’s Pregnancy Center, we offer no-cost lab-quality urine pregnancy tests and your results will be given during your appointment. We also provide proof of pregnancy when desired.
If you receive a positive pregnancy test result with us, we provide no-cost limited obstetrical ultrasounds and look for three things:
-
Confirm the pregnancy location (if it’s located within the uterus or not)
-
Confirm the pregnancy viability (if there’s a heartbeat & pregnancy is progressing)
-
Confirm how far along you are (known as the gestational age)
These vital pregnancy details will help you determine your next steps. Contact us today to set up a no-cost appointment to gain the clarity you need and learn more about your options.
