Protections

• The state's constitution protects abortion.
• The state's lawmakers have not passed protections for abortion.

Bans

• Under current law, abortion is legal to provide until possible fetal viability - the point when a fetus might survive outside the uterus - with some exceptions. This is sometimes referred to as a "viability ban." This usually applies after about the first 24 weeks of pregnancy.
• Healthcare professionals in the state may be allowed to provide an abortion after the state's legal limit if it is necessary to save the pregnant person's life.
• Healthcare professionals in the state may be allowed to provide an abortion after the state's legal limit if it is necessary for the pregnant person's health, including physical or mental health.
• It is a felony for providers to violate the state's restriction on providing an abortion, punishable by imprisonment and fines.
• The state permits the pregnant person and/or family members to sue the person who provided an abortion in violation of the state's abortion restriction.

Barriers

• The state requires healthcare professionals to perform an ultrasound, offer the patient an opportunity to view an ultrasound, or offer to perform an ultrasound before they provide an abortion.
• The state only allows doctors to provide abortions.

Minors

• State law requires healthcare professionals inside the state to meet certain requirements before providing an abortion to minors below the age of 18.
• Before providing an abortion to a minor inside the state, the state requires an abortion provider to get their parent or guardian's consent.
• Before providing an abortion to a minor inside the state, the state requires an abortion provider to notify their parent or guardian.
• The state allows a judge to excuse a minor from having to notify or get consent from their parent or guardian before having an abortion inside the state. This is referred to as "judicial bypass."
• Before providing an abortion to a minor, the state does not require an abortion provider to obtain specific documentation of their parent or guardian's consent or notification.

Telehealth

• The state allows healthcare professionals inside the state to provide medication abortion through telehealth only after the patient has had an in-person visit.

Insurance

• The state allows Medicaid funds from the state to cover abortion when the pregnant person's physical health is endangered. This is often limited to cases when care is necessary to avert "substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function."
