My wife is 15 week pregnant. We decide that we are not keeping this ay, but I am worried that it may be too late. Please, if anyone knows, Is termination at 15 weeks allowed? She is healthy, 33 years old and we have 2 already.

I believe that surgical abortions are performed through 22 weeks, counting from the first day of the last menstrual period. I had last minute termination few years ago. I know that for surgical abortion procedures at 15 weeks and above, the cervix must be softened and opened with dilating sticks prior to the abortion.

HELLO THERE!

Yes, most states have abortion clinics which go up to 20 weeks at least. ATLANTA has an aboriton clinic which will do an abortion at 26 weeks.

Click your state from the menu, it will show lists of aboriton clinics in each state. It shows their website, prices, and gives extra info =)
