Late Term Abortion in Virginia

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

Virginia law prohibits abortion after the start of the third trimester, or about 25 weeks, as well as putting forth strict guidelines for those seeking termination regardless of gestation. Minors seeking termination are mandated by law to notify their parents and are not able to move forward with a procedure unless they obtain parental consent. In addition to this, women are burdened with a 24-hour waiting period after preliminary counseling. All of these laws place unnecessary obstacles on women and hinder their reproductive freedom.

Washington, DC does not have the same legal restrictions as Virginia, so abortions are legal here up to any gestation - even up to 36 weeks. This means that Capital Women's Group may be able to help you in getting late term abortion care.

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 Virginia 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.
