Abortion/average cost?

Question
Me and my partner just had sex last night. unfortunately we made the mistake of letting things go too far. that was around midnight last night. and around 9 or 10 this morning she went and got the plan B pills to stop anything from happening. Thing is.... if it doesn't work what should we do? how much does abortion cost(average cost)? and is there a cheaper way? something else we can do to stop it?

Thank you for your time.
I hope I hear from you soon. (kinda stressin here ha ha)

Answer
Hi Travis,
It's great that she took Plan B so quickly.  That is over 90% effective when taken within a day.  You can explore costs of abortion - but they vary widely depending on where you live.  The best sites are earlyabortion.com and gynpages.com.  Generally prices range in the $350-600 range depending on how private you want your experience to be.  No need to explore yet.  The chances are that you and she will be fine.  It might be more helpful for you to research better birth control methods.  
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
