Virginia Beach’s #1 virtual abortion provider
At-home vs. in-clinic abortion in Virginia Beach, VA
Both virtual and in-person abortion options are safe and legal in Virginia Beach. Because there’s only 1 vetted in-person abortion clinic, it may be more convenient to get treatment delivered. Here’s what to know if you’re deciding between getting an abortion at a clinic vs taking the medication at home.
What is the abortion pill?
Medication abortion is an FDA-approved treatment to end pregnancies up to 10 weeks. It involves two medications:
- Mifepristone – Stops the pregnancy from growing
- Misoprostol – Taken 6–48 hours later, causes the uterus to cramp and empty
This process is up to 98% effective and considered very safe for at-home use. Most complete it 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 the most common way to have an abortion in the US. Despite popular myths, having an abortion does not increase your risk for breast cancer, does not cause depression, and does not impact your ability to get pregnant in the future.

How to spot a fake clinic in Virginia Beach
There are at least 2 fake clinics in Virginia Beach, VA. Fake clinics, also called crisis pregnancy centers (CPC), may look like real medical facilities, but their goal is often to discourage people from having abortions, sometimes using guilt, scare tactics, or misleading information about risks and side effects.
Knowing how to spot them can help you avoid delays and get the care you need.
Here’s what to watch out for:
- They don’t list abortion services clearly
- They won’t share pricing or timelines over the phone
- They advertise emotional “counseling” or “options education”
- They show up in Google Maps or online ads
- They pressure you to continue your pregnancy
- They promote “abortion reversal” services
