There has been a lot of confusion about abortion and healthcare since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. If you are worried that you might be pregnant, be assured that your well-being is our top priority at PCEC.

Our compassionate staff is here to provide confidential and non-judgmental support as you decide your next step.

Is Abortion Illegal in Michigan?

Abortion is legal in Michigan through fetal viability. Viability means the fetus can survive outside of the uterus with medical assistance. Viability is usually around 23 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.

In 2022, Michigan voters approved Proposal 3, a state constitutional amendment placing a right to an abortion in the state constitution.

Can I Get Treatment For An Ectopic Pregnancy?

Women can receive the necessary medical care for conditions such as ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage in all states. No laws restrict this care, as it’s life-saving for women.

What Do I Need to Know Before Getting an Abortion?

It’s essential to be fully prepared and informed about the various abortion procedures, side effects, and potential physical and emotional risks. Take a free and confidential pregnancy test at PCEC to start confirming your pregnancy. If your test is positive, your next step is an ultrasound.

An ultrasound confirms if you have a viable (developing) pregnancy or if you have miscarried. You also learn if there are any potential life-threatening complications, like an ectopic pregnancy. This condition requires immediate treatment to protect your health.

Experts estimate that 26% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage. You can get a positive pregnancy test result days or even weeks following a miscarriage because it takes a woman’s body time to return to pre-pregnancy hormone levels.

An ultrasound also confirms your eligibility for specific abortion procedures. For instance, the FDA only approves the abortion pill method for pregnancies through 10 weeks.
