Abortion Care for Mississippi Patients at CHOICES Center for Reproductive Health
At CHOICES Center for Reproductive Health, we’re here to provide compassionate, professional abortion care for people traveling from Mississippi. Our clinic in Carbondale, Illinois, offers both medication abortion (the abortion pill) and procedural abortion (aspiration) in a safe, supportive environment that centers your dignity and autonomy. Whether you’re coming from Jackson, Gulfport, Hattiesburg, or anywhere in Mississippi, you can count on CHOICES to help you access the care you deserve, without judgment, delay, or pressure.
Abortion Services We Offer
Medication abortion (the abortion pill) is available up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. This option allows you to safely end a pregnancy with medication, often in the comfort of your home after your clinic visit. Our medical team will guide you through every step, answer your questions, and ensure you have access to follow-up support if you need it.
For pregnancies up to 14 weeks and 6 days, we offer procedural abortion (aspiration). This simple, in-clinic procedure takes only a few minutes and is performed by our experienced clinicians. Most patients are able to return to normal activities the next day. We focus on your comfort throughout your visit—providing emotional support, pain management options, and a compassionate care team who will be with you at every step.
