Family Planning Associates Medical Group (FPA) Abortion Clinic for Louisville, KY residents has been a leading provider of compassionate and quality abortion care for almost thirty years. Many patients travel from Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri to access safe abortion care at FPA clinics, without any waiting period. FPA offers comprehensive reproductive healthcare including STI screening, contraception consultation visits with or without an exam, IUD insertion, first trimester surgical and medication abortion up to 13 weeks, and second trimester abortion procedures up to 24 weeks.
As restrictive abortion laws have been passed throughout the United States in the last few years, FPA has evolved in order to offer help to patients travelling from out of state to access abortion care. Many states have parental consent laws, 18-72 hour required waiting periods, and in some cases additional laws which block access to abortion care. Unfortunately, in most cases, these laws prevent patients from scheduling and having an abortion procedure in the first trimester. In Illinois, there are no waiting periods to delay your care—we can see you any day Monday through Saturday.
If you live in Louisville, KY, and have recently learned that there is a problem with your pregnancy, we are here to offer support and compassion during this time of loss. We can work closely with your genetics counselor and physicians to coordinate and provide the most appropriate care for you. We can provide a remembrance, in most cases footprints, at your request. Please contact our patient care coordinator, Kathryn Rabbitt Phipps via email at krabbitt@fpachicago.com if you have any questions, concerns or requests.
We understand that safety is a primary concern for our patients, and we want you to feel comfortable obtaining services with FPA, in our private clinic setting. Our caring and approachable staff will answer all of your questions, help you review your options, and address any concerns that you may have. All of our experienced physicians are board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and are on staff at a highly regarded local hospital. Our physicians, advanced care clinicians, administrative staff, nursing personnel, and entire support staff work together closely to offer safe, confidential and caring services to all of our patients, as well as their guests.
We strive to keep our fees affordable, offer generous discounts to patients facing financial hardship, and work closely with The National Abortion Federation to help our patients obtain financial assistance. Even with this help, some patients need additional financial help. We work with all national and local funds, and make every effort to ensure that everyone in need is able to access our services, regardless of their ability to pay.

Mifepristone is as safe as a surgical abortion for most patients. The medication abortion is a completely noninvasive procedure and does not require sedation or a local anesthetic. However, as with surgical abortion, risk of hemorrhage does exist. In rare cases, the incomplete passage of tissue requires a surgical evacuation.
Serious infection can occur in about 1 per 1,000 patients and death from infection occurs in less than 1 per 100,000 patients. Therefore, if you develop a flu-like condition including sluggishness, weakness or muscle aches with or without fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol (Cytotec), it is essential that you call us immediately.
As a means of helping to prevent the already low chance of infection, we will provide you with antibiotics. Please tell us if you have any drug allergies or have had any abnormal reactions to any medications. You can help prevent infection by taking your antibiotics as directed and by avoiding tampon use, sexual activity, douching, or placing anything in the vagina for two full weeks after the abortion pill process. Please contact us immediately if you have any signs of an allergic reaction or have other abnormal reactions to your medications during the abortion pill procedure.
