Frequently Asked Questions

How Soon Can I Get An Appointment?

Generally, we have appointments for the abortion pill available immediately. For in-office abortion procedures, there is generally a 2-5 day wait, but we do have cancellations and appointments open every day if you need to be seen sooner. There is normally a 1-2 day wait for a second trimester abortion procedure.

We do not want you to delay your care for financial reasons, please let our staff know if you need help paying for your abortion. There is also help available with transportation and travel expenses.

If I have no money can you help me get a free abortion?

If you have current Illinois Medicaid coverage or are eligible for Illinois Medicaid and willing to apply for coverage, we are able to provide abortion care for you at no cost.

For patients who live out of state or are not eligible for Illinois Medicaid – At FPA, we work very hard to make sure that all patients can afford our services regardless of insurance coverage. We offer discounted fees when a patient is uninsured or facing financial hardship. Many of our patients receive very generous financial assistance from The National Abortion Federation, the Chicago Abortion Fund, and other funding organizations when possible. We will work with you to help you get the financial assistance you need.

Is it safe to have an abortion procedure?

Simply put, abortion is extremely safe. According to ACOG, The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, only about 2% of patients who undergo an abortion experience a complication associated with the abortion, and most complications are minor and easily treatable with follow-up procedures or antibiotics. They also state that abortion is safer than many common medical procedures— The risk of complication or mortality from abortion is less than the same risk from common procedures like wisdom tooth removal, cancer screening colonoscopy, and plastic surgery. Lastly, they note that the risk of maternal death associated with childbirth is approximately 14 times higher than the risk associated with abortion care.

At FPA, our physicians are highly skilled and specialize in providing abortion care.

I visited the clinic on Friday the 5th, 2023. I do not live in Chicago, so I travelled from Indiana, and I received the best hospitality ever. I will most definitely recommend this clinic.

Patient Google Review2024
Very grateful that I chose this place out of all the other options. The entire staff was very friendly and made me feel supported. It was fairly quick, I was there for 2 hours. It was also cheaper than other places (without insurance). Person on the phone was also nice and so were the escorts. There were no protestors outside, thankfully.
