According to our research, abortion fees differ depending on the hosipitals. In 2009, the median charge for a surgical abortion at a 10 weeks’ gestation was $470. However, since most U.S. women have abortions at facilities with lower charges, the average amount paid was $451. The median cost for a medication abortion was $490 and the average amount that women paid was $483.

4. Are there really clinics that operates abortion for free?
We could not find any clinics that operates abortion for free. However, we found some clinics in large cities like New York City that operates abortion for a cheap price. For instance, it seems that organizations like Planned Parenthood and Parkmed Physicians can help you with the price. They can either charge you the minimum, or they can refer you to funding centers if you have low income.
