How much do abortions cost?
In the US, the average cost of a first-trimester abortion (up to 12 weeks from the first day of your last period) averages around $600. The cost of an abortion goes up each week you’re pregnant, so the sooner you can contact a provider the better. A second-trimester abortion can easily cost a thousand dollars or more.
When calling a clinic, you can ask what the price of an abortion will be based on when your last period was. If you need help paying for an abortion, let the clinic know. After you make an appointment, they may be able to offer financial help or connect you with a local abortion fund.
What’s an in-clinic abortion like?
An in-clinic abortion takes place in a clinic or hospital. They’re medically very safe and 99% effective. There’s a variety of names used for in-clinic abortions, as well as different types. Some names you might come across are surgical abortion, procedural abortion, dilation and evacuation (D&E), dilation and curettage (D&C), or vacuum aspiration. It can be a bit overwhelming keeping track of all of these! What’s important is they’re all very safe and effective.
With a first trimester in-clinic abortion (up to 12 weeks), your doctor will numb and dilate your cervix in order to insert a narrow flexible tube into your uterus. The tube will then remove the pregnancy tissue with suction. The suction portion takes about a minute and the entire procedure takes around 10 to 20 minutes.
If you need an abortion later in pregnancy (over 13 weeks), you’ll likely have what’s called a dilation and evacuation (D&E). It may take place over two consecutive days and require multiple visits to a provider. This procedure also involves suction to empty your uterus.
One thing to keep in mind is that in-clinic abortions later in pregnancy cost more with fewer providers to choose from. That’s why it’s helpful to contact a verified clinic as soon as you’re able to.
Some clinics offer pain and sedation medications to help you feel more comfortable before, during, and/or after the procedure. Be sure to ask the clinic before you arrive about your options.
If you can't afford an abortion, or the costs associated with travel, there are organizations ready to help..

What happens with abortion pills?
In states where abortion is legal, a medical abortion may be available to you up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. Typically, you will be administered pills at your doctor’s office, as well as given some to take at home.
Abortion pills are accessible on the internet. It's important to note that while self-managing your abortion with pills is medically very safe and effective, it can come with legal risk. If you have legal questions about self-managing an abortion, the repro legal helpline has information on your rights and a helpline at 844-868-2812

What are the restrictions in my state?
Abortion in Wyoming is legal until "viability". Abortions after viability are banned unless the health of the pregnant person is at risk.
The Wyoming legislature has passed, and the governor has signed, a law banning most abortions in the state. However, as of March 2023, a judge has blocked that law from taking effect, preserving abortion access while legal challenges proceed. An additional law making it illegal to "prescribe, dispense, distribute, sell or use any drug for the purpose of procuring or performing an abortion" (aka abortion pills) was also temporarily blocked by a judge. We are monitoring both cases and will update this space with any changes to abortion access in Wyoming.
There are no mandatory waiting periods to access abortion in Wyoming; however, minors under the age of 18 must obtain parental consent or a judicial bypass to receive care.
One thing that isn't regulated: crisis pregnancy centers or fake clinics. There are more of these than actual abortion clinics in Wyoming and they will come up when you search for abortion clinics on Google or in the phone book. All providers on ineedana.com have been verified as real providers.
