Abortion Info in Beaufort

On May 17, 2024, a South Carolina state judge ruled that the state can continue to enforce its abortion ban, which prohibits almost all abortions around six weeks after conception.

If you live in South Carolina, you’re probably unsure what to do with the new abortion restrictions. We can answer any questions you have and confirm the viability of your pregnancy. Text (843) 892-6193 or book an appointment for more information.

If you are considering abortion, your first step is to schedule an appointment to complete your ultrasound.


Before proceeding with an abortion, the ultrasound will determine:

Whether your pregnancy is progressing, which is crucial for determining eligibility for different abortion methods. Each procedure and associated costs depend on your health history and the stage of your pregnancy.

Whether your pregnancy is viable. An ultrasound is the only way to confirm 100% that your pregnancy is progressing normally. Studies indicate that up to one in four pregnancies do not progress, and some women may not realize they have miscarried until it is detected on an ultrasound. If a miscarriage is confirmed, follow-up care from a doctor will be necessary.

You have the legal right to choose the outcome of your pregnancy.

No one, not even a partner, boyfriend, spouse, or parent has the legal authority to pressure, coerce, or force you into having a medical or surgical abortion.

If you suspect you may be pressured to abort or do not feel supported in parenting or adoption, please reach out to someone at our center who can advocate for you and explain your legal rights.

No one should make this decision for you. You have the right to decide what to do with your pregnancy.

If you are feeling pressured (coerced) to have an abortion, you have options. Schedule an appointment to speak with a trained client consultant about your choices and legal protections. If you are in immediate danger or concerned about your safety or the safety of your baby, call 911.

Knowing the cost of an abortion depends on the type of procedure available and whether the abortion pill is an option at your stage of pregnancy. Costs can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Before making any decisions about abortion, it's crucial to determine the stage of your pregnancy. At Radiance, we offer free ultrasounds to confirm the progression of your pregnancy. While our center does not provide or refer for pregnancy terminations, we are here to support you with essential information.

We provide no-cost ultrasounds to determine pregnancy viability and fetal development stage.

As a community-funded 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Radiance does not financially benefit from your ultrasound or your pregnancy decision.
