Can you get the abortion pill in South Carolina? Through telehealth, a licensed clinician can prescribe the abortion pill after a short online consultation — wherever you are. Here's what South Carolina's law means for you and how the process works.
South Carolina's law has been to the state supreme court more than once, struck down in one form and upheld in another, and the window it allows has moved with those rulings. We're not going to summarize the current statute here, because a page written months ago is the wrong place to learn what the law is today.

What hasn't changed is the practical picture:
6 weeks = approximately 2 weeks after a missed period. By the time most people confirm a pregnancy, the window has passed.
South Carolina has approximately 1.2 million women of reproductive age. Before the ban, clinics operated in Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville. Now access is extremely limited.
But you still have options. People across South Carolina are accessing medication abortion through telemedicine.
Travel is shorter than many ban states, but telemedicine is still faster, cheaper, and more private.
Delivery times:
Sliding scale: $0 - $145. No one turned away.
South Carolina's law is written to target providers rather than the people who end their own pregnancies. We can't tell you what that means for your situation, and we're not going to try — people in states with bans have been investigated anyway, which is why free legal help exists before you need it.
