Before visiting an abortion provider / clinic in Hackettstown, NJ, take a moment to consider the following key questions.

1. Is the Abortion Provider / Clinic Licensed and Inspected? In New Jersey, abortion facilities are legally required to hold a license and are subject to inspections by state health authorities. However, inspections may not occur regularly—even for licensed centers. You can look up public health records online by searching “New Jersey abortion clinic inspection reports” to learn about the abortion provider history.

2. Who Will Perform the Abortion Procedure? You have every right to ask about the qualifications of the person performing the abortion. While a board-certified OB-GYN is the ideal provider, New Jersey law allows other types of physicians—or even non-physicians in some cases—to carry out abortion procedures. You may also want to check for past malpractice claims or complaints tied to the abortion provider / clinic.

3. What Emergency Protocols Are in Place? Every medical procedure carries some risk. It’s important to know what the abortion provider / clinic would do in the event of a complication. Does the abortion provider / clinic have hospital admitting privileges nearby? Does the abortion provider / clinic have a plan for emergencies? These details matter for your safety; and you, and your life, matter!

4. Who Provides Anesthesia or Sedation? Only trained professional anesthesiologists such as physicians or certified nurse anesthetists should administer anesthesia. Make sure you know who will be responsible for this part of your medical management during your abortion procedure and who is responsible for your anesthesia, sedation, and respiratory well-being.

5. Will an Ultrasound Be Offered First? Ultrasounds are a critical step before any abortion procedure. They help confirm:

• If the pregnancy is viable (developing normally)
• The exact location of the pregnancy (to rule out ectopic pregnancy)
• How far along you are (gestational age)

Since estimating pregnancy dates based on your last period isn’t always reliable, an ultrasound gives a clearer, more accurate picture.

At Care Net Pregnancy Resources of Warren County, we offer free 1^st trimester ultrasounds, after an initial intake, and contingent upon that evaluation, at no cost to you.

6. What Kind of Experience Does An Abortion Provider / Clinic Offer in Hackettstown, NJ? When visiting any provider, ask yourself:

• Does the clinic seem clean, organized, and professional?
• Are your questions being answered with dignity, care, and clarity?
• Do you truly feel heard and respected?
• Are you being rushed, pressured, or coerced into an abortion decision?

Your health should always come first—that includes your emotional health to make a decision that you feel good about in a timeframe that works for you! You deserve compassion—not pressure.   You Have Options. You Have Time. Before making a final decision, we invite you to schedule a confidential, no-cost appointment with our team. We’ll walk you through all your options in a safe and supportive setting—without judgment—and, since all of our medical services are free & confidential, we have no financial incentive in our decision.
