Abortion Question:
How early can I get an abortion?
Q: Is there is a waiting period before you can get an abortion? Do you have to be pregnant a few weeks or can it just be days after you find out you are pregnant?
Clinics and doctors vary on how soon you can get a first-trimester abortion - usually it's 5 to 6 weeks after your last menstrual period (LMP).
