Abortion is healthcare. Healthcare is a human right. Right now, the provision of abortion care is banned at all stages of pregnancy in Texas. Regardless, you have options. You are not alone.

A SAFE PLACE IN HOUSTON FOR FREE ULTRASOUNDS

Visit Houston Repro

Many people wish to date their pregnancies before taking abortion pills. Houston Women’s Reproductive Services is a former abortion clinic that now provides safe, reliable ultrasounds. They give out accurate, unbiased information, and can provide follow up exams after an abortion or miscarriage.

When seeking free ultrasounds, pregnancy tests or other reproductive care (even STI testing!!), many people unknowingly go to anti-abortion centers, commonly known as “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” (CPCs). CPCs provide false, biased or misleading information about your options (1).Some centers have been known to lie about ultrasound results and spread misinformation about the abortion pill.

Expose Fake Clinics has an updated list of CPCs in each state. This list may not be comprehensive. If you are unsure whether a center is a CPC, you can call us at (281) 978-2455.

 

IHWSH FUNDS CARE FOR FOOD AND BEVERAGE WORKERS

If you are a Food and Beverage worker based in or around the greater Houston area, we can fund certain kinds of post-abortion follow-up care. This care may include ultrasound imaging at Houston Repro, or very rarely, additional doses of misoprostol / a dilation and curettage procedure (D&C). D&C’s are very safe, and take 5-10 minutes.
