At-home vs. in-clinic abortion in Dayton
Both virtual and in-person abortion options are safe and legal in Ohio, but one may be a better fit depending on your schedule, location, how far along you are, or support system. Because there is only 1 in-person clinic in Dayton, it may be more convenient to get treatment delivered at home. Here’s what to know:
What is the abortion pill?
Medication abortion is an FDA-approved treatment to end pregnancies up to 10 weeks. This process is up to 98% effective and considered safe for at-home use. It involves two medications:
- Mifepristone, which stops the pregnancy from growing.
- Misoprostol, taken 6 to 48 hours later, which causes the uterus to cramp and empty.
Most complete this process within 24–72 hours of the second pill, with symptoms easily managed at home like cramping, heavy bleeding, nausea, and fatigue—similar to a heavy period.
This treatment is very safe and is the most common way to have an abortion in the US. Despite popular myths, having an abortion does not increase your breast cancer risk, does not cause depression, and does not impact your ability to get pregnant in the future.

- They don’t list abortion services clearly
- They won’t share pricing or timelines over the phone
- They advertise emotional “counseling” or “options education”

How much does an abortion cost in Dayton?
The cost of an abortion depends on such factors as how far along you are, your provider, insurance coverage, and if you decide to get your abortion at a clinic or take abortion pills at home. Hey Jane accepts insurance, which can greatly reduce the cost of medication abortion treatment. Knowing these details can help you plan and reduce stress during the process:

Potentially! Private insurance can bring the cost of abortion care to as low as $0 depending on your plan. This includes your co-pay or co-insurance fees and whether or not you've hit your deductible (the initial cost you have to pay out-of-pocket before insurance starts to cover medical costs).
