How Early Do I Need to Seek an Abortion in Georgia?

As soon as possible. Georgia's LIFE Act bans most abortions after cardiac activity is detected, which can occur around six weeks, often before women know they are pregnant. Contact Tara Gynecology as soon as you have made your decision.

What Is the Difference Between a Medical and Surgical Abortion?

A medical abortion uses medication to end an early pregnancy. A surgical abortion (D&C) is a brief in-office procedure performed by a physician. The right option depends on gestational age, health history, and personal preference, all discussed during your consultation.

Does Georgia Require a Waiting Period Before an Abortion?

Yes. Georgia law requires a 24-hour waiting period between your initial consultation and your procedure. The care team will walk you through this requirement and all next steps before you leave your first appointment.

Does Tara Gynecology Accept Insurance for Abortion Procedures?
