Current Abortion Restrictions & Requirements

Current Abortion Laws

As of May 1st, 2024, abortion is banned after 6 weeks in Florida. We know this makes accessing care incredibly challenging for so many people, but no matter what, people still have options and organizations willing to help.

  • Less than 6 weeks pregnant: A person can access an abortion in-state. (Will require 2 appts)
  • More than 6 weeks pregnant: A person may need to make an appointment out of state in order to get care. Americans across the country are accessing PlanCPills.org to learn about abortion pills by mail and self-managed abortion.

Required Waiting Period

Florida requires a 24 hour mandatory delay, meaning a patient must receive state-mandated counseling at least 24 hours prior to accessing an abortion.

For Minors

Parental notification and consent are required for an individual under 18 to access an abortion. If you cannot involve a parent, there’s help, but this process has become much more challenging since a court decision released in May of 2025. If you need help finding a free attorney or have legal questions, contact The Jane Network.
