How Much Does an
Abortion Cost in Manassas?

The cost of abortion is a critical factor that influences the decisions of individuals facing unplanned pregnancies.

Understanding the financial implications of abortion is essential, as expenses can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of procedure, gestational age (the length of time from the first day of the last menstrual period), and whether insurance coverage is available.

There are several types of abortion procedures, each with their own costs:

The Abortion Pill

The abortion pill, also referred to as a medication abortion, is FDA approved up to 10 weeks from the last menstrual period and requires you to take two medications. The first medication, is given in a healthcare facility and functions by inhibiting the hormone progesterone, which is crucial for sustaining the life of the fetus. After two days, the second medication, is taken at home. This medication induces  contractions to expel the fetus from the uterus. Potential risk factors can include heavy bleeding, infection, and incomplete abortion.

In Manassas, the cost of the abortion pill can vary depending on the provider and specific circumstances. Generally, the price ranges from $450 to $545.

Aspiration or Suction Abortion

Aspiration, often referred to as a suction abortion, is a procedure that can be performed in a clinic any time after a pregnancy has been confirmed up to about 14 weeks from the last menstrual period. In this process, a healthcare provider must first dilate the cervix slightly using laminaria and/or dilating rods. Then using a thin tube attached to a suction device, they will suction the fetus and placental tissue from the uterus. This method may be associated with risk factors such as pain, heavy bleeding, infection, damage to the cervix or uterus, and emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

In Virginia, the cost of an aspiration/suction abortion typically ranges from $600 to $1,100, depending on factors such as the provider, the gestational age, and whether any additional services are included.

Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) before viability Abortion

Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) is a surgical procedure typically performed between 15 and 23 weeks after the last menstrual period. At this stage, the fetus has grown too large to fit through the suction tubing. The cervix must first be dilated with laminaria or medication and dilating rods. The dilation will need to be greater than in the aspiration abortion procedure. Then instruments are used to grasp and pull the baby’s body parts through the open cervix. A scraping instrument called a curette and the suction machine may then be used to remove any remaining tissue or blood clots. A surgical abortion at this stage of the pregnancy carries a greater risk of complications including incomplete abortion, organ damage, heavy bleeding, and infection.

In Manassas, the cost of a Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) before viability abortion generally starts at $650 and increases for each week of pregnancy to approximately $1,800. The final cost can fluctuate depending on factors like the healthcare provider, the gestational age, and any additional services that may be necessary.

Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) Abortion After Viability Abortion

Dilation and evacuation (D&E) after viability abortion is a surgical procedure that is performed after 23 weeks from the last menstrual period. After about 23 weeks, it is possible for the baby to live outside the mother’s body. The law requires that the baby not be alive before it is removed. This is done by giving a lethal injection into the baby to stop the fetal heart. The dilation of the cervix may take two days using laminaria or other medications. The baby is then either removed in parts as in the D&E before viability, or labor is induced using medications to cause the uterus to contract. Late term abortions are much more expensive and are not available in many states. They are also associated with a much higher risk of complications including heavy bleeding, organ damage, and infection. Abortions after viability carry with them the greatest possibility of emotional problems as well.

A D&E after viability abortion can cost $3,000 or more depending on factors such as the
healthcare provider, the gestational age of the baby, and any extra services that may be
required.
