The price of abortion care depends on the method (medication vs. in-clinic), how far along the pregnancy is, and whether insurance or Medicaid can be used. Rather than relying on published averages, call the clinic or the NAF hotline for a real quote, then ask about funding before paying out of pocket: palmetto-abortion-fund.org and the National Network of Abortion Funds exist precisely to close the gap between a quote and what you can afford. Many funds also cover gas, flights, lodging, and childcare.

Abortion remains legal in South Carolina within the limit described above (6-week limit), with restrictions that can include waiting periods, gestational limits, and provider requirements. Because the practical details shift with litigation and regulation, confirm current requirements directly with a verified provider or the National Abortion Federation hotline before making plans.
