Since the fertility window can vary with each menstrual cycle, **only an ultrasound can accurately determine gestational age**.3 - **In Texas, all forms of abortion are illegal EXCEPT where a Doctor determines it necessary to preserve the life of the mother.** This does not affect care for ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. A woman who obtains an abortion cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under Texas law.  #### Have Questions Related to Abortions?

Many women who have had abortions felt some pressure to do so. Remember, **you have the right to decide the outcome of your pregnancy**. No one, not even a partner, boyfriend, spouse, or parent, can legally force you to have a medical or surgical abortion. If you feel pressured or unsupported about parenting or adoption, reach out to our center. We can advocate for you and explain your legal rights. You have the legal right to make your own decision. No one else should decide for you. **No one, including your parents or the father, can force you to have an abortion**. If you're feeling pressured, you have options. Schedule an appointment with a trained consultant to discuss your options and legal rights. If you are in immediate danger or worried about your safety, call 911.   - Should I have an ultrasound before my abortion? If you're considering an abortion, we can provide a pre-abortion counseling appointment to complete an ultrasound.4 Before scheduling an abortion, an ultrasound will help determine: - **Whether your pregnancy is progressing:** This is important for figuring out which method of abortion you might be eligible for. The type and cost of the procedure depend on your health history and how far along the pregnancy is. - **Whether your pregnancy is viable:** The only way to be sure your pregnancy is progressing is through an ultrasound. Studies show that between 10%-20% of all known pregnancies do not progress. Some women don’t know they've had a miscarriage until it's seen in an ultrasound. If you have miscarried, you will need follow-up care from a doctor. - Are abortions expensive? **The cost of an abortion varies based on the type of procedure** and whether the abortion pill is an option at your pregnancy stage. It can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Before making any decisions about abortion, it's important to know how far your pregnancy has progressed. You can verify this with an ultrasound at Care Net Pregnancy Center. While we do not perform or refer for abortions, we offer no-cost ultrasounds.   [Learn About Ultrasounds](https://pregnancycare.org/no-cost-ultrasounds-waco-tx?hsLang=en) - Is Care Net of Central Texas a good place to get an ultrasound?
