We offer compassion and resources to those who seek support at our center.
PRC GR offers free, confidential services to help you understand all your options in a supportive, judgment-free environment. Talk to someone who cares—you’re not alone in this decision.
Pre-abortion screenings are considered best practice in early pregnancy care. These evaluations help identify medical risks, confirm pregnancy details, and detect conditions that could impact your safety or available options.
If you are considering an abortion, it’s important to get accurate medical information beforehand. At PRC GR, we provide pre-abortion screenings and education so individuals can make informed decisions based on verified medical facts, not assumptions, pressure, or incomplete information.
Testing for sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STDs/STIs) is an important component of pre-abortion care. Undiagnosed infections such as chlamydia or gonorrhea can increase the risk of complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and infection following an abortion procedure.
Some abortion providers do not routinely test for STDs/STIs prior to performing an abortion. This can place patients at unnecessary medical risk. A pre-abortion screening appointment allows time to identify and treat infections before any procedure is considered, reducing the likelihood of complications and supporting long-term reproductive health.
At PRC GR, we believe in informed consent, meaning that all medical decisions should be made with full knowledge of your current health status and potential health risks. Testing provides objective data that supports safer care.
An ultrasound is a key diagnostic tool prior to any pregnancy decision. It provides information that a pregnancy test alone cannot, including:
These details directly affect what abortion options are medically appropriate. Abortion methods vary depending on how far along a pregnancy is and some methods may be illegal, ineffective or incredibly unsafe at certain gestational ages. In addition, ectopic pregnancies require emergency medical treatment and performing an abortion on an ectopic pregnancy is incredibly risky to the woman (and ineffective).
Despite this, not all abortion providers perform ultrasounds before scheduling or providing abortion services. Without this information, patients may receive incomplete or inaccurate counseling. PRC GR offers an ultrasound during a pre-abortion screening so you can understand the medical facts of your pregnancy before making any decision.
Abortion providers operate as medical businesses and generate revenue from abortion procedures. This does not automatically imply improper care, but it does mean that abortion services are financially incentivized. In many cases, the same facility that profits from abortion is also responsible for counseling patients about their options.
PRC GR does not provide or profit from abortion procedures. This allows us to offer pre-abortion screenings and information without a financial stake in the outcome of your decision. Our role is to present medically accurate, evidence-based information so you can evaluate all options objectively.
True informed consent requires more than signing paperwork. It requires time, access to diagnostic information, and an understanding of potential physical and emotional risks. Pre-abortion screenings support informed consent by identifying health factors that may influence outcomes.
Some individuals report feeling rushed or pressured to decide quickly. PRC GR provides space for medical evaluation and education without time constraints. Our services are confidential and focused on patient safety and autonomy.
PRC GR serves women who want clinical, fact-based pre-abortion screenings. Whether you ultimately choose abortion, parenting, or adoption, understanding your health and pregnancy is an essential first step. If you are considering abortion, schedule a confidential pre-abortion screening at PRC GR to ensure your decision is informed, medically sound, and centered on your well-being. Like all of our services, a pre-abortion screening is entirely cost free and confidential, and there is no need for insurance.
