If you are unexpectedly pregnant, you may be stressed about all of the possible pregnancy-related costs, such as doctor’s visits, medications, and purchases made to ease your own comfort, especially if you are currently on a budget.
If you are exploring abortion as the most cost-effective solution, there are other resources available to assist you.
At Crossroads Life Center, we offer material assistance and compassionate support to pregnant women. Schedule a free appointment today.
What Would an Abortion Cost?
Abortions often come with a hefty price tag. The costs of an abortion can vary depending on the procedure time. Medical abortions can cost up to $500, and surgical abortions can cost several thousand dollars, depending on whether or not you have insurance and what it covers.
Because abortion is illegal in Kentucky unless it is to save the life of the woman, an abortion would also come with transportation costs since you would have to travel out of state.
There may also be additional medical costs if there are complications or you require mental health assistance, since experts agree that “abortion is consistently associated with elevated rates of mental illness.”
Explore Your Options
Whether you consider adoption or parenting, the two other options other than abortion, there are many resources available to help.
For example, eligible pregnant women in Kentucky have Medicaid coverage for prenatal, delivery, and postnatal costs, as well as medical costs for the infant up to 12 months of age.
If you choose adoption, the adoptive family you select may help cover approved medical and living expenses.
At Crossroads Life Center, we offer free pregnancy services, including pregnancy test and ultrasound referrals. We also offer options consultations, so you can share your circumstances and get information on all your options.
