Abortion is a safe and legal option for teen and adult women in the U.S. until the end of the second trimester (or up to six months).

It is really important for teen and adult women to seek an abortion as early in the pregnancy as possible. Why? Because most providers only perform abortions early in the pregnancy—before 14 weeks. After that, abortion can be a more complicated and expensive medical procedure, and they may have to travel farther to find a provider to perform one.
