Yes some clinics do. In some states a surgical abortion is only allowed at a hospital. A medical abortion has a 9 week limit so contact the clinic you want to go to since not all PPL perform abortions.

RU-486 - Mifeprex (The Abortion Pill)

Mifeprex blocks the action of the hormone progesterone, which is needed to maintain the lining of the uterus and provides oxygen and nutrients for the embryo.Without it, the embryo dies. Mifeprex is used in conjunction with the drug Cytotec (misoprostol) which is taken two days after Mifeprex, causing the uterus to contract and empty. The pregnant woman first visits the abortionist

to obtain the Mifeprex pills, returns two days later to receive misoprostol, and a third time to verify that the abortion is complete.

Vacuum Aspiration

In this first trimester procedure, the doctor numbs the cervix and slowly dilate it to the size of a straw and then gently suck the embryo out. The noise of the machine makes it sound rough but no one can roughly suck anything out of a uterus without hurting the woman.

Dilation and Suction Curettage (D&C) can be done if the uterus failed to expell the embryo.

This is similar to the vacuum aspiration but a curette is used to scrape the walls of the uterus.
