You may be thinking, “I’ve already had a positive pregnancy test and I’ve made up my mind to have an abortion. Why would I need an ultrasound first?” 


It’s important for you to know that a pregnancy test is only an indication that you may be pregnant. No matter what option you’re considering, an ultrasound is important as it’s the only way to determine if a pregnancy is viable, meaning the pregnancy has developed in the uterus, (and not ectopic), and if there’s a heartbeat. In addition, it would tell you how far along you are which is important to determine which type of abortion procedure can be done.



At Collage, we can provide a free limited OB ultrasound to determine if your pregnancy is viable. If it isn’t, you can avoid the financial cost and any potential emotional or physical consequences that can be associated with abortion. Remember, you have time to get all the facts before rushing into anything. We’re here to provide a safe place for you to process this big decision – no matter what.
