Abortions Available Just After Conception

A new abortion technique allows women to end a pregnancy just days after conception and before they’ve even missed a menstrual period. The new method is offered at several Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country. Gloria Feldt, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, couldn’t give an exact count of the locations performing the technique or the states and cities where they are located. Doctors had been reluctant to perform abortions before six or seven weeks of gestation because of the lack of accurate early pregnancy tests. Such tests are now available.
