Considering abortion can raise difficult questions about whom to tell, especially if you are unsure how your partner may respond. You may want his support, worry that he will disagree, or need time to understand your pregnancy and options before beginning that conversation.
Under Minnesota law, your partner’s involvement or permission is not required. However, that does not mean you have to work through the decision alone. If your relationship is safe, talking with your partner may give you both an opportunity to share concerns, ask questions, and better understand each other’s perspectives.
A helpful first step is gathering accurate information about your pregnancy and health. Crystal Women’s Clinic offers free, confidential pre-abortion testing and a private place to ask questions and learn about all your options without pressure.
Crystal Women’s Clinic offers free pre-abortion testing. Abortion methods differ depending on how far the pregnancy has progressed. The FDA approves the use of the drugs for a medical abortion (the abortion pill method) through 10 weeks of pregnancy only.
Additionally, experts estimate that up to 20% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage. The number could be higher because many women miscarry before they even realize they’re pregnant.
To protect your health and safety, you should also be tested for an STI. Studies show that women with an STI such as chlamydia are at a higher risk of pelvic infection.
Here’s what our free Pre-Abortion Testing provides:
Our pre-abortion testing is a vital step to avoid unnecessary procedures or costs.
