The Abortion Pill

At Sophia Women’s Center, we understand the difficult decisions and emotions that can come with an unplanned pregnancy. Our compassionate support team provides you with the facts and resources necessary to make the best decision for you. Our team of healthcare professionals is here and ready to help.

What Is the Abortion Pill?

The abortion pill is a pregnancy termination option for early pregnancy. Often referred to as medical abortion or medication abortion, the abortion pill consists of 2 different pills/medications. These pills are typically taken 24-48 hours apart and work together to terminate the pregnancy.

How Does the Abortion Pill Work?

The first dose of the abortion pill works to block progesterone, which is a hormone needed to maintain a healthy pregnancy. The second medication is then taken to induce early labor, which causes cramping and bleeding, ultimately expelling the embryo and pregnancy tissues from the uterus.

How Much Does the Abortion Pill Cost?

The price of the abortion pill varies, depending on the medical facility you choose, your insurance coverage, and how far along you are in your pregnancy. In the state of Ohio, the typical cost ranges from $300-$800+.

Our team is familiar with the process and costs for each abortion method and is here to help you understand your options. We offer free pre-abortion screenings and options consultations, with no insurance required.

Testimonials

The staff is so welcoming and friendly. They go above and beyond for you. I've went with two of my unplanned pregnancies they did a ultrasound for both confirming my pregnancies. I was given a small gift when I went, then followed up mid pregnancy, and invited us back after the baby was here and gave us so much stuff for them. If you are newly pregnant and need confirmation and friendly faces I highly suggest going here.

Everyone here is very helpful and kind. I went here when I was so lost and didn't know what to do. My heart was telling me to keep the baby but my brain was saying it wasn't the time. They were very understanding and made sure that I knew all of my options and also what to expect. While they were talking with me the father was out in the waiting room reading up as well.

A very nice place, would recommend to anyone. The women are kind, and caring, and seeing my baby for the first time was such and amazing experience. If you're looking to go anywhere I 100% suggest going here

Sophia women’s center was amazing. I felt so safe the whole time I was there and truly felt so heard and understood. They never pressured me one way or the other (meaning abortion or not) and educated me on ALL my options. Even some that I didn’t even know were possible. I definitely recommend going here if you find yourself in an unexpected pregnancy. The staff is so kind and caring and will support you in your decisions to ensure you are well taken care of and safe, no matter what.

This place was beyond amazing. Staff was incredible and made me feel comfortable. They heard my concerns, and still educated me on every possible outcome. I would highly recommend to any expecting mother. Such genuine people here that I will never forget.
