Florida currently bans abortion after approximately 6 weeks of pregnancy (measured from your last period). This creates significant barriers for most people seeking abortion care.
Key points about Florida's 6-week ban:
6 weeks = approximately 2 weeks after a missed period
Most people:
The reality: By the time most Florida residents confirm pregnancy, the 6-week deadline has usually passed.
If you've missed your period or tested positive for pregnancy, you likely cannot access in-person abortion services in Florida due to the 6-week restriction.
However, you still have options:
Despite Florida's 6-week ban, residents can safely access medication abortion through telemedicine services based in shield law states.
Shield laws protect healthcare providers in certain states who prescribe medication abortion to patients in restrictive states like Florida.
