If you’re thinking about abortion, it’s important to take time to make an informed decision. Here are several key questions to ask and things to consider before moving forward:
1. Is the Abortion Clinic Licensed?
In Ohio, not all abortion clinics are required to be licensed, and even licensed abortion clinics may not be inspected regularly. Choosing a licensed and regularly inspected abortion clinic can help ensure your health and safety. To learn more, search online for “abortion clinic inspections in Ohio” and check for any recent reports about the clinic you’re considering.
2. What Are the Qualifications of the Medical Staff?
You have the right to ask about the doctor’s credentials, experience, and whether they—or the abortion clinic—have a history of malpractice. Ideally, the procedure should be performed by a board-certified OB-GYN, although this is not required by law in Ohio.
3. What Happens in an Emergency?
Ask if the abortion provider has admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. While complications are uncommon, every medical procedure carries some risk, so it’s essential to know what emergency care options are in place.
4. Who Administers Anesthesia for your abortion?
Anesthesia should only be administered by a trained physician or a certified nurse anesthetist. Make sure to ask who will be responsible for this part of your care.
5. Will an Ultrasound Be Performed at the Abortion Clinic?
An ultrasound is critical to confirm the pregnancy’s viability, location, and gestational age. This information affects the type of abortion procedure and its cost. It’s also necessary to rule out an ectopic pregnancy, which can be life-threatening if not treated.
6. What Abortion Methods Are Offered at the Clinic?
Some abortion clinics only provide medical abortions (pill), while others offer surgical procedures. Medical abortions sometimes result in incomplete termination, which may require further treatment. Ask what options are available, what follow-up care is provided, and what additional costs you might incur if complications arise.
7. How Many Appointments Are Required?
Abortion Clinic policies vary. At minimum, you should have a consultation before the procedure to ask questions and a follow-up appointment (including an ultrasound) to ensure the abortion is complete and you are recovering well. Be sure to ask whether these visits are included in the quoted price or billed separately.
8. Can Someone Accompany You?
Having a friend, partner, or family member with you for support is often helpful. They may not be allowed to stay during the procedure, but can wait with you beforehand and provide a ride home if needed.
9. What Is the Abortion Clinic Environment Like?
- During your first visit, pay attention to how you feel:
- Is the clinic clean and professional?
- Does the staff answer your questions thoroughly?
- Are your concerns being taken seriously?
- Do you feel respected—or pressured?
- Trust your instincts. You deserve to feel safe, heard, and supported.
10. You Always Have the Right to Change Your Mind
No matter where you are in the decision-making process, you are allowed to pause, ask more questions, or change your mind.
