Some states have laws that allow you to make your counselling appointment via telehealth and then do your ultrasound and abortion at the same appointment if you have to travel a long distance to get an abortion. These laws prevent you from travelling a long distance twice or staying far from home during the waiting period. If you’re going to have to travel a long way for your abortion, ask if virtual counselling is an option when you call to make your appointment. Other states may allow you to get abortion pills online through telehealth, which means you don’t have to meet with a provider in person to have an abortion.
