Informed Choices provides free and confidential abortion information. If you’re facing tough choices, our center offers compassionate support, information, and free ultrasound services. We provide free ultrasound services performed by medically licensed personnel to confirm a viable pregnancy and to inform you about your options. The available abortion methods vary depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy. We can determine your pregnancy stage and explain the different abortion methods. While we offer accurate information about all your pregnancy options, we do not offer or refer for abortion services.
Abortion is legal in the state of Illinois, including telemedicine, the abortion pill, suction abortions, and D&E abortions. To better understand your options, we encourage you to schedule an appointment to meet with our medical team and learn fact-based, detailed information about abortion.
