What types of abortion are there?
Medication abortion
The FDA-approved "abortion pill" generally refers to a medical abortion method that involves taking two different medications to terminate an early pregnancy. This procedure is approved up to 10 weeks gestational age.
Surgical abortion
Suction aspiration, also called suction curettage, or vacuum aspiration is performed from 6-14 weeks gestational age. Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is typically done in later weeks.
