How much does an Abortion Cost

If you are pregnant and considering your options then you may be wondering how much an abortion cost. There is no straight answer to this question as the amount goes up the further you are into your pregnancy. If you are looking to have an abortion in the first trimester, 12 weeks, then the cost is usually set to cover pain medicine for cramps and other "smaller costs."

If you are past the first trimester the cost will increase as you will have to pay for the physician’s time in addition to the medications, office visit and other factors. The total cost is similar to a hospital visit for minor surgery. The cost can be close to $500 for an abortion at this stage. If you are having a late term abortion then the cost will be much higher.

These are the monetary costs for an abortion but there are other costs you may want to be aware of and these include: Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual costs that are much, much heavier then anything financial. Let’s look at a few reasons why.

Emotional cost: There are countless blogs and forums filled with women that have not stopped crying in ten years or more since they have had their abortion. The emotionally scarred number in the millions and they often stay quiet but due to the internet they now have a louder voice. Do not mistake the fact that having an abortion will cost you greatly on an emotional level.

Physical cost: This is another area in which the true number of women that have had serious physical injuries due to an abortion are not reported. Now, their stories are coming out and there are indeed thousands of terrifying incidents and even death that has occurred.

Spiritual cost: This is the great price a woman will pay if she has an abortion. Can God forgive you for doing so? Absolutely! However, the guilt and condemnation from living with having just killed your own child bears a heavy mark and many women struggle greatly to get past the event. If you are concerned about the spiritual aspect you should know that God is big enough to know the need and will provide on every level for you and your child.
