You complete any required vitals or lab work.
You meet privately with a counselor to confirm you consent to the procedure and that you understand the facts of the procedure.
For a Medical Abortion, you meet with the doctor to take the first pill. You receive a second round of medication to take at home the following day. The abortion process is completed at home.
