FAQ's

Focus Women’s Center believes in educating every patient on all their legal options in a neutral, no-pressure, judgment-free environment so that each patient is empowered to make an informed decision that works best for them.

Oftentimes our patients come to us with a pre-determined plan in mind. However, we have found that circumstances in their lives can change quickly, and they suddenly find themselves forced to consider options they didn’t think about before. That is why every patient is offered information on Abortion, Parenting, and Adoption, as well as a list of local resources that can be of assistance.

While FWC offers medical information on abortion, please note that we do not provide or refer for abortions, nor do abortion clinics require a referral from us. If you are planning to have an abortion, Focus Women’s Center can provide you with important information you should have before you undergo the procedure.
