While we do not have a parental consent law in Illinois, we do have an ‘Adult Family Member Notification’ law in effect. This means that an adult family member must be informed that you are going to have an abortion procedure–they do not have to agree with your decision or give you permission to have an abortion.
- When can you return to work or school? Most women are able to return to work or school the day after the procedure. If needed we are happy to provide a confidential note that you can provide to your employer or school.
- Will you be awake during the procedure? Not usually – most women choose sedation which means you can be ‘asleep’ during your abortion procedure. Please note that sedation is required for a second trimester abortion procedure.
After the Abortion Procedure
Aftercare services are very important, including a follow-up appointment, if advised or desired. Many patients return for a checkup after the abortion procedure, as we offer this service at no additional charge. At the follow-up visit you can also discuss any concerns you might have, and birth control if you did not leave with a birth control method on the day of your abortion procedure. After your procedure you will be provided with a 24-hour, toll-free number that you can call if you have any concerns or questions.
