Insurers are for profit organizations. Full term pregnancies cost more than abortions, most of which are performed early in pregnancy. An early pregnancy abortion costs less than an advanced pregnancy abortion. As it is not in an insurer’s best interests to publicize information which may increase its operating costs, such publication does not occur.

In the U.S.:

Early pregnancy abortions can cost anywhere from $350 to $600. The cost for a late second trimester procedure can cost up to as much as $3,000.

The estimated cost of delivery alone is $6,000 – $8,000 for a normal pregnancy and the cost increases if it is a high risk pregnancy. Well Baby visits add to the cost
