Abortion Laws in Florida

Last Updated: July 22, 2025

Mandatory Counseling and Waiting Period

  • Requires two in-person appointments (consultation with ultrasound), followed by a 24‑hour waiting period.

Parental Consent for Minors

  • If under 18, must have written parental consent. Judicial bypass exists, but recent court rulings raise concerns.

Gestational Limits

  • Abortions are banned after 6 weeks LMP (last menstrual period); a 15‑week ban is also in effect.

Out‑of‑State Considerations

  • Since abortion access is tightly restricted, many travel to other states. Use provider search tools to plan early. For help, call the NAF Hotline.
