Late Term Abortion in Massachusetts

If you are seeking a late-term abortion in Massachusetts, Capital Women's Group is here to help you. The reality is that late term abortion care may not be available in Massachusetts because of laws which limit the availability of late term abortions. But we are ready to help women from Massachusetts who need a later abortion - whether a late second trimester abortion or even a third trimester abortion.

Washington, DC does not have the same legal restrictions as Massachusetts, so abortions are legal here up to any gestation - even up to 36 weeks. Under current Massachusetts law, abortion care is not available beyond 24 weeks of pregnancy unless it is necessary to save the life of the mother. This law means that abortion in Massachusetts is not legal for many common fetal indications experienced during a pregnancy. Unfortunately, many women in Massachusetts do not have the ability to obtain an abortion beyond 24 weeks unless your life is at risk. Additionally, there are only a few providers in Massachusetts that actually offer abortions up to 24 weeks. Capital Women's Group is in an area where abortion past this gestation is legal and available. We may be able to help you in getting late term abortion care, no matter your gestation.

Our doctors are all board-certified Ob/Gyns who are all experienced abortion providers and who have all held medical school faculty positions and full admitting privileges at university hospitals. Under certain circumstances, we can offer later term abortion care to Massachusetts women, and we can offer such late 2nd trimester abortion care and 3rd trimester abortion care in either in a university hospital or in our outpatient facility.
