Yes. Before scheduling an abortion, an ultrasound will determine:

• Whether your pregnancy is progressing: This is important for deciding which abortion method you may be eligible for. The procedure and cost depend on your health history and how far along your pregnancy is.

• Whether your pregnancy is viable: The only way to confirm a viable pregnancy (one that is progressing) is with an ultrasound. Studies show that up to one in four pregnancies do not progress. Some women may not realize they’ve had a miscarriage until it’s detected in an ultrasound. If you’ve miscarried, you will need follow-up care from a doctor.
