Family Planning Associates Medical Group (FPA) Abortion Clinic for Montgomery, Alabama residents is one of the largest independent abortion providers. FPA is a nationally recognized abortion provider – we have offered safe & compassionate abortion care for over thirty-five years.
Many patients travel from Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and all over the US to obtain abortion care at FPA clinics. We have appointments available within 1-5 days and will work with you to schedule your visit around your work schedule and/or travel plans.
FPA offers comprehensive reproductive healthcare including birth control visits with or without an exam, first trimester surgical abortion, medication abortion up to 12 weeks, and second trimester abortion procedures up to 24 weeks.
Some of the most restrictive abortion laws have been passed in Alabama in recent years. FPA offers help to patients travelling from Alabama to access abortion care.
Alabama has 1.1 million people of reproductive age, and Montgomery residents cannot access abortion care in your city at this time. Right now abortion is completely banned in Alabama with very limited exceptions. There have always been laws in Alabama that made it harder for patients to have an abortion in a Montgomery abortion clinic, including a 48-hour waiting period, ultrasounds are required by law even when a physician does not find it medically necessary, and state Medicaid coverage of abortion is banned except in very limited circumstances.
Regulations like these delay abortion care, and often prevent patients from scheduling and having an abortion procedure in early pregnancy. In Illinois, there are no waiting periods or laws to delay your care—we can see you any day Monday through Saturday.
When obtaining abortion services, and reproductive health services, our OB/GYN clinic can help with the following:
We do not want you to delay your care because of financial concerns. When travelling from Montgomery, Alabama many patients are able to access free abortion care. Call us today and we can help you find out if you qualify for a reduced cost or free abortion service at FPA.
FPA works closely with The National Abortion Federation and many state-based abortion funds to help our patients get the financial assistance they need.
Travel assistance is available if you cannot afford to drive or fly to FPA in Chicago for abortion care. The Chicago Abortion Fund helps patients make travel plans and pay for transportation to Chicago. Click here to contact Chicago Abortion Fund for help with travel or procedure costs.
We can help if you are pregnant and unsure about how to move forward. Almost half of all pregnancies are not planned, and it can be a stressful experience to find out that you are pregnant when you didn’t plan it or don’t want to be. Sometimes abortion is the best option, but for some patients adoption or parenting is a better choice. FPA staff are unbiased. We do not want you to have an abortion, we want you to make the best choice for your situation, and we are here to help if you decide to have an abortion procedure. We can offer prenatal care and/or adoption referrals if you opt to continue your pregnancy.
When you are pregnant you have three options:
We trust you to make a decision that is right for you, and sometimes it helps to talk with someone outside of your everyday life who does not have any personal opinions that might influence your decision. If you are unsure of your decision and need unbiased advice and information, we recommend contacting All-Options. This talkline is staffed by volunteer peer-counselors. You can talk with someone about a past or present experience with abortion, adoption, parenting, infertility or pregnancy.
If you live in Montgomery, Alabama and have recently learned that there is a problem with your pregnancy you are not alone. We offer support and compassion during this time of loss. There are support groups and services available for you to connect with other families who have made this difficult choice. If you would like, we can offer remembrance footprints. Please contact our patient care coordinator, Kathryn Rabbitt Phipps via email at krabbitt@fpachicago.com if you have any specific questions, concerns or genetic testing requests.
Safety is important to FPA and our patients. ACOG, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, states on their website that abortion is a safe medical intervention, “Most abortions are safely performed in an outpatient non-hospital setting. Only about 2% of patients who have an abortion experience a complication, and most of these complications are minor and easily treatable with follow-up procedures or antibiotics.”
Risks depend on your personal medical history as well. When you make an appointment, we will send you a link to confidentially complete a full medical history. If our medical staff members have any concerns, we will call you and have a phone consultation, before you travel to FPA from Montgomery for abortion care.
All of our physicians specialize in providing abortion care, are board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and most are also on staff at a highly regarded local hospital. Our physicians, advanced care clinicians, administrative staff, nursing personnel, and entire support staff work together closely to offer safe, confidential and caring abortion services – this is one of our core values.
