The cost of abortions vary slightly from clinic to clinic and also depend on how far along the pregnancy is. A late term abortion is more expensive than an earlier one. The abortion pill is usually a little more expensive than the surgical type.
Most clinics require upfront payment. They will not perform the abortion (or even give counseling) until they are given the money. Actual policy varies from clinic to clinic.
A first trimester abortion can cost 4-500 dollars, slightly more for the RU-486 pill. But beyond the actual monetary cost, abortion has other costs.
First of all, it costs a human life. This is an unborn baby at 8 weeks

Here is what he looks like after he has been aborted.

He was torn from his mother’s womb by a powerful suction device. This baby paid the price for his mother’s abortion. He is part of the cost.
The tragedy does not end here. Abortion can lead to physical problems. The rates of future ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, and premature births rise dramatically after abortion. Here are the studies, all in peer reviewed journals, that prove this.
Abortion also often leads to emotional scars. An increased risk of suicide has been documented in many women after abortion. In fact, a teenage girl who has an abortion is 10 times more likely to commit suicide than a girl who has not had an abortion. See studies here.
Here are some women’s stories of abortions they had and the way it effected them.
Emotional trauma is another cost of abortion. And the trauma is often not limited to the woman. Many men, forgotten fathers, grow to regret the child that never was born. Here are some of their stories.
Surviving siblings too, can suffer from the loss of their unborn brother or sister. They too are part of the cost, the price of abortion. Read the story of one sibling here.
If you came here considering an abortion, please take your time and make a decision you can live with. A baby’s heart starts beating as early as 18 days after conception. An abortion will stop this heart. The developing brain gives off waves at five weeks.
Here is a picture an unborn baby at 6 weeks- this baby was from an unruptured ectopic (tubal) pregnancy
There are places you can go to for help, places that will provide emotional support, counseling, free ultrasounds (which you would otherwise have to pay for at the abortion clinic or at Planned Parenthood) and quite often supplies for the baby, a place to live, and even, in some instances, medical care, as well as job training. These places are crisis pregnancy centers. Going to a crisis pregnancy center does not mean you will be bullied or forced into having your baby – no one can force you to have your baby, nor can anyone legally force you to have an abortion. But the people at these centers, many of whom have had abortions and/or unplanned pregnancies themselves, know what you are going through. They can help.
Go here to find a pregnancy center in your area. Or dial 1 800 395 HELP to talk to a pregnancy counselor right now. The call is free and completely confidential. Consider calling and finding out what resources are available in the community if you choose to have your baby.

This article has so many mistakes:
“He was torn from his mother’s womb…” fetuses are always female unless the gonads descend. A number of factors need to be in place if that were to happen (not just the mutated 46th chromosome). If the gonads do descend, the decent doesn’t start till the 9th week at best.

How much do an abortion for 20 weeks
In the US, well over $1000. In other countries, I’m not sure. An abortion at 20 weeks is a 2 or even 3 day procedure. On the first day, laminaria, small sticks, are inserted into the woman’s body to slowly open the cervix, the neck of the womb. You can see more information about abortion at 20 weeks, and what it looks like, here http://clinicquotes.com/abortion-at-20-weeks-pictures/
