Abortions for Maternal Indications
Maternal Indication abortions are allowed when the need is to protect the life or the health of the mother. Both the “Roe v. Wade” and “Doe v. Bolton” Supreme Court decisions allow abortions at any gestation to preserve the life and the health of the mother.
Regardless of the reason for abortion, the earlier an abortion is performed the lest risk there is to the mother. However, this risk is never of significance to justify making a hurried, unresolved choice.
The risks of the most advanced abortions, are much less than the risks associated with carrying the pregnancy to term. Our most common reasons for referrals for advance care is the very late diagnosis of a pregnancy in a woman with a severely compromising medical condition, very young maternal age and rape and incest.
All of our terminations past the 22nd gestational week require a referral from another physician. We suggest you consult with your personal physician. If that is not an option, often your local abortion clinic physician will complete this referral at your original visit.
If you can not find a local physician, please call us to help find a provider to do your evaluation.
