*ALL ABORTION Services ARE FREE OF CHARGE
The decision about whether, when, or how to become a parent is one of the most important we make in life – and we trust you to make the decision that’s best for you. That’s why Whole Woman’s Health of Austin’s expert staff are proud to provide safe, confidential, high-quality, and free/low-cost abortion care and contraception methods. You are not alone, and we are here to support you and give you the care you need with compassion and dignity. Same day appointments may also be available, and we always have bilingual staff.
*Because of SB 8, we have received generous funding that enables us to provide free abortion services in our Texas clinics.
We are a proud member of the National Abortion Federation and licensed by the Texas Department of Health (#140013).
Whole Woman’s Health of Austin offers the following reproductive healthcare services:
- Abortion care**, including abortion pill (taken at home) and abortion procedure (in clinic)
- Walk-in emergency contraception – no prescription necessary
- Kind, non-judgmental providers and staff
- Options Counseling
- Ultrasounds
- Free walk-in pregnancy testing
**Abortion care options are restricted by SB 8. Abortions will only be provided if no embryonic or fetal cardiac activity is detected in the sonogram we will provide for you.**
If you’re not eligible for an abortion in Texas due to SB 8, you may still have options. If you can travel out of state, we are now offering virtual abortion care by mail up to 11 weeks of pregnancy in New Mexico. Also, if you visit a Whole Woman’s Health clinic in another state, the cost of your travel and care may be 100% covered. Call us now to learn more. Click here for additional resources and referrals.

Abortion Restrictions
- Under Senate Bill 8, an abortion may be performed after embryonic or fetal cardiac activity is detected only in cases of life endangerment or severely compromised health.
- Most patients must receive state-directed counseling that includes information designed to discourage them from having an abortion, and then wait 24 hours before the procedure is provided. Counseling must be provided in person for patients within 100 miles of the provider and must take place before the waiting period begins, thereby necessitating two trips to the facility.
- Private insurance policies cover abortion only in cases of life endangerment or if the patient’s health is severely compromised.
- Health plans offered in the state’s health exchange under the Affordable Care Act can only cover abortion in cases of life endangerment or severely compromised physical health.
- Abortion is covered in insurance policies for public employees only in cases of life endangerment or severely compromised physical health.
- The use of telemedicine to administer medication abortion is prohibited and medication abortion cannot be administered past seven weeks of pregnancy.
- The parent of a minor must consent and be notified before an abortion is provided.
- Public funding is available for abortion only in cases of life endangerment, rape or incest.
- A patient must undergo an ultrasound at least 24 hours before obtaining an abortion; the provider must show and describe the image to the patient.
- The state requires abortion clinics to meet unnecessary and burdensome standards related to their physical plant, equipment and staffing.
- Abortion would be banned if Roe v. Wade were overturned.
