I'm asking about my sister. She's 6 weeks pregnant and due to some financial issues, they're considering not continuing with the pregnancy. Is it possible to have an abortion at 6 weeks? Would it be a medicated or surgical procedure? She's also working, so would she need to take a week or two off for recovery?
