Alabama has a total ban on abortion at all stages of pregnancy, with extremely limited exceptions. Alabama's ban is one of the strictest in the nation.
Key points about Alabama's ban:
Alabama has approximately 1.1 million women of reproductive age. Before the ban, abortion services were available in Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, and Mobile. Now, there are no in-state options for elective abortion care.
But you still have options. People across Alabama — from Birmingham to Mobile, from Huntsville to Montgomery — are accessing medication abortion through telemedicine providers in states with shield laws.
Online consultation with licensed medical providers in shield law states, with medication shipped to your Alabama address.
