You won’t want to make a pregnancy decision until you’ve researched every option carefully. Abortion is no different; getting the facts about this medical procedure and your state’s laws is crucial.

Sac Valley Women’s Health believes every woman deserves to make an informed decision with her health and safety in mind. If you have an unplanned pregnancy, our free and confidential services will provide the information you need.

Is Abortion Legal in CA?

In California, abortion is legal up to when your pregnancy reaches 24 weeks gestation (often considered the point of viability). It may be permitted after this time if a provider deems the mother’s life or health to be at risk.

Minors do not need parental permission to have an abortion, and most private insurance plans in California cover abortion costs.

Although California has fewer abortion restrictions than other states, this does not mean you should forgo essential steps before making a pregnancy decision. Your health and well-being matter.

Before Making a Pregnancy Decision

Confirm your result with clinical-grade pregnancy testing if you’ve taken an at-home pregnancy test. You may be eligible for a limited ultrasound if you have a positive result.

Sac Valley Women’s Health provides limited ultrasounds to help women verify the following:

Viability: Determine whether your pregnancy is progressing normally. Up to 26% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage, which may require further monitoring or treatment.
Gestational age: Discover how far along you are. This step is critical to determining your pregnancy options.
Location: Learn whether your pregnancy is located in the uterus or if it is an ectopic pregnancy. This condition is a medical emergency and requires treatment.

Even if you’re considering abortion, you need an ultrasound to protect your health and safety.

We also provide pregnancy options consultations. You’ll learn about the risks and side effects of abortion procedures and receive information on adoption and parenting.

We don’t pressure you to choose a specific option and do not profit from your pregnancy decision.
