Abortion Methods
Certain abortion clinics may provide a range of abortion methods depending on the individual case or personal choice of the pregnant mother.
* Safe surgical abortions
* Medical abortions – Abortion pill

The morning-after pill (emergency contraceptive) is often used as an abortion pill but should not be taken more than 3 days after intercourse. For a more advanced pregnancy, medical intervention is required to reduce complications and ensure a safe abortion. Consult with a medical practitioner on suitable abortion methods for your pregnancy. If you are less than 9 weeks pregnant, you can consider a medical abortion that involves using the abortion pill. For a pregnancy that is further along, you will need to undergo a surgical abortion. Medical abortions usually involve a process known as dilation and curettage (d&c) – a pill is used for dilation of the cervix and fetal contents are removed through a tube inserted via the vagina (manual vacuum aspiration or MVA). The process is not pain-free but with proper medical supervision, it is quick and fairly painless. Speak to a medical doctor about the abortion method so that you have fully understood the procedure.
