Considering abortion and have questions?

In South Carolina, abortion is banned once cardiac activity is detected, usually around 6 weeks from your last period. Because many women don’t realize they’re pregnant that early, getting an ultrasound as soon as possible is key to understanding your options. Our partner centers offer this service at no cost and often within a couple of days of scheduling. A nurse can help you book an appointment, or you can search directly using our Find Local Care tool.

In South Carolina, an ultrasound isn’t legally required before an abortion, but it’s strongly recommended. It can confirm how far along you are and whether the pregnancy is progressing or ectopic (which can be dangerous if left untreated). Knowing this information protects your health and helps you make a smart decision. 

Our partner centers offer free ultrasounds. You can connect with a nurse who can help schedule an appointment or use our Find Local Care directory to search on your own.

No, abortion services or referrals aren’t part of the scope our centers provide. Our role is to provide medically accurate information, free pregnancy confirmation services, like lab-grade tests and ultrasounds, and a safe, judgment-free space to process your options. If you choose to carry, we’re also here to walk with you through the journey with resources, support, and care. Whatever you’re feeling, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Ordering the abortion pill online might feel like the quickest, most private option, but there are a few important things to keep in mind. South Carolina has strict laws around abortion, and access to pills by mail is limited and still being debated in court as of 2025.

The hesitation around ordering online has a lot of layers, but the biggest one is this: there’s no real way to guarantee what you’re getting unless it’s from a certified medical provider. The FDA only approves the abortion pill under specific guidelines, and skipping those steps means skipping the safety checks that are there to protect you.

Before you take anything, it’s really important to know how far along you are and whether the pregnancy is progressing. That’s not just a technical detail; it can seriously impact your health and safety. An ultrasound is the safest place to start.

Reach out through our nurse chat, and we can help you get scheduled for a free ultrasound at a center near you.

The abortion pill is FDA-approved up to 10 weeks, but using it beyond that, or without medical supervision, can lead to serious complications like heavy bleeding, infection, or incomplete abortion. That’s why it’s so important to confirm how far along you are with an ultrasound.

Our partner centers offer free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and clear, medically-based information about all your options. If you’re feeling unsure about your future, our nurse chat can help you get scheduled at a center near you.

No. Our nurses and partner centers offer completely confidential support. You don’t need insurance, and your information won’t be shared with anyone. 

This is your story, we’re simply here to walk with you through it, without pressure or judgment.
