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.
