What kind of abortions does Planned Parenthood perform?
In-Clinic Abortion. There are two kinds of in-clinic abortions: aspiration and D&E (dilation and evacuation). Aspiration is usually performed up to 16 weeks after a person's last period. D&E is usually performed after that 16-week period has passed.
How does Planned Parenthood prepare for abortions?
Before your abortion, you'll meet with your nurse, doctor, or health center counselor to talk about whether abortion is the right decision for you, and what your abortion options are. You'll get an exam and lab tests, and may get an ultrasound to figure out how far into your pregnancy you are.
What week does Planned Parenthood do abortions?
In-clinic abortion is offered up to 19 weeks and 6 days after the start of your last menstrual period. If your last period was after 19 weeks and 6 days, we can still help.
Will my parents know if I go to Planned Parenthood?

Can a 17 year old get birth control without parents knowing?
Can I get birth control without anyone finding out? Yes. You do not need permission from a parent or guardian to get birth control. In fact, it is unethical and illegal for clinic workers or health care providers to tell your parents/guardians you were even at the clinic.
