Third Trimester Procedure

The 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision allowed for states to regulate abortions in the second and third trimesters in order to protect the woman's health. For more information on Roe v. Wade go to: http://www.prochoice.org/policy/courts/roe_v_wade.html.

During the later second trimester, Texas state laws and regulations require abortions be done in a surgical site or hospital. During the last trimester, Texas state laws and regulations prohibit abortion except when it is necessary to preserve the life or health of the woman.
Our sister clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico is able to provide abortions later in a pregnancy. The clinic provides elective pregnancy termination through 28 weeks LMP and further for fetal and maternal indications. For women over the 28th menstrual week, BPD 7.0 and greater, services are provided on a case-by-case basis. Because each case is unique, we ask that women with fetal or maternal indications call the office for a phone evaluation. They will help if they can.
