Question
hi
i have a very similar question. im planning on having an abortion, but i dont have any medical insurance and i cand afford to pay what most clinics are charging. i had an abortion when i was 17(i am 27 now) paid for by an emergency medicaid, but i am not sure if id be eligible for it now. what are my options?
Dear Nora,
You have a few choices. Try clinics at gynpages.com or earlyabortion.com and see if they can offer discounts; try emergency Medicaid again; or call National Abortion Federation - they have a hotline, and I think they can help find places with a discount.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
