Why Talk to Us About Abortion?

If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. You may be experiencing many emotions—confusion, fear, anxiety—and if you’re feeling pressured to make a specific decision, the situation can feel more challenging.

At Life Line, we’re here to walk alongside you with respect, compassion, and support. You can get the clarity you need to make an informed decision. Here’s why you should talk to us about abortion.

Understand What’s Legal in North Carolina

Before choosing abortion, it’s essential to know what’s allowed in your state. In North Carolina, abortion is legal through 12 weeks gestation. After that point, it’s legal through 20 weeks gestation in cases of rape or incest, or through 24 weeks in cases of life-limiting fetal anomalies. Any abortions performed beyond that point are permitted only in cases of medical emergencies. 

We’ll discuss North Carolina’s abortion law so you have complete clarity. Additionally, we’ll help you learn more about your pregnancy and options. 

Why You Need an Ultrasound First

Even if you’ve taken a positive pregnancy test, it doesn’t confirm all the medical details you need. An ultrasound is the most reliable way to verify:

• How far along you are
• If the pregnancy is located in the uterus
• Whether the pregnancy is viable (or if you’ve had a miscarriage)

These facts are crucial when considering abortion, especially medical abortion, which is only FDA-approved through 10 weeks gestation. Knowing this information also protects your health—conditions like ectopic pregnancy require immediate care and cannot be resolved with an abortion.

At Life Line, we provide free ultrasounds so you can gather critical information and determine your next steps.
