ABORTION APPOINTMENT
*Continued on Next Page*
Proprietary Property of Planned Parenthood Keystone
Implemented July 2023
To schedule an appointment for an abortion, please call (800) 230-PLAN (7526) or online at: www.ppkeystone.org
Before Your Appointment *The Abortion Control Act (1989) - requires that anyone having an abortion in PA has an information
session with a doctor prior to their abortion. For more information: www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/state-facts-about-abortion-pennsylvania
• All patients are required by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania* to attend an information session at least 24 hours prior
to the abortion.
• This session must take place no less than 24 hours before the abortion, but can be scheduled more than 24 hours
ahead of time. This session can be completed during an audio phone visit, or in-person. Non-English and non-Spanish
speaking patients, as well as those needing ASL interpretation have the option to complete the consent in-person at a
health center or virtually via telehealth with interpretation.
• The doctor cannot provide an abortion to a patient who has not completed this requirement.
• Please note: If you are UNDER 18, you must do your information session in person at a health center with a parent or legal
guardian to sign for consent. The same parent or guardian must accompany you to your procedure. If this is not possible,
judicial bypass is available. If seeking judicial bypass, please ask one of our staff for more information.
Preparing for Your Appointment
On the day of your abortion:
• Bring your photo ID: current, unexpired photo identification with your picture and date of birth is required. Accepted
forms of ID include Driver’s License, State ID, Passport, Military ID, or Visa with photo.
• Patients under 18 MUST have a parent or legal guardian present with picture ID and documentation identifying their
relationship to you (e.g., birth certificate). This must be the same parent or legal guardian that attended the information
session at least 24 hours prior to this appointment.
• Wear comfortable clothing and underwear that can support a pad.
• Prepare to be in the center for about 2 to 4 hours on average.
o We suggest you bring a book or a small handheld device/smartphone with a charger and headphones.
• You may bring a support person to accompany you to your visit and who may be able to participate in some of your
care.
• Everyone must wear a surgical mask upon entering the health center. If you do not have one, we will provide you with
one.
• Make arrangements for childcare if necessary; children are not allowed in the center.
• Give yourself time to find parking and check in. Parking recommendations per location are below.
• Please eat prior to your appointment: we suggest that you have a light meal before you come to the center. We also
recommend that you bring a water bottle and light snacks to have while you wait.
• Please note: no video (chatting or recording) is allowed. This is to ensure the privacy of all patients and staff.
Procedural Abortion (local anesthesia only) Visit our website for more information
What to Expect:
• You will get any recommended labs/ultrasound, an education session, and birth control consultation (if desired) before
seeing the doctor.
• You will receive an antibiotic and ibuprofen, as well as a medicine injected into the cervix to help decrease any
discomfort.
• You will be awake and can expect cramping during your procedure. The procedure takes about 5-10 minutes. The
doctor will confirm the procedure is complete. Afterwards you will spend a short period of time in the post-procedure
room before being able to go home.
Abortion by Pill (Medication Abortion) Visit our website for more information
What to Expect in the Center:
• You will get any recommended labs/ultrasound, an education session, and birth control consultation (if desired) before
seeing the doctor.
• You will be given medications to end the pregnancy and empty the uterus. We’ll review when and how to take these
medications.
What to Expect While at Home:
• Cramping and bleeding often start 2 to 4 hours after you take the second set of the medications. This is how the
pregnancy passes. It can last for several hours and it is heaviest when the pregnancy comes out.
• The pregnancy is very small. You may or may not see it, depending on how many weeks the pregnancy is. The cramping
and bleeding will slow down after you pass the pregnancy.
• You will need to make sure the procedure worked. You can either take an at home pregnancy test 5 weeks after your
appointment (and can opt to get a reminder call for this) or you can return to one of our centers for lab work or an
ultrasound one to two weeks after your appointment.
