Protections

• The state's lawmakers have not passed protections for abortion.

Bans

• Under current law, abortion is legal to provide until after 24 weeks with some exceptions.
• Healthcare professionals in the state may be allowed to provide an abortion after the state's legal limit if it is necessary to save the pregnant person's life.
• Healthcare professionals in the state may be allowed to provide an abortion after the state's legal limit if it is necessary for the pregnant person's physical health (excluding mental health).
• Healthcare professionals in the state may be allowed to provide an abortion after the state's legal limit based on the health or status of the fetus.
• It is a felony for providers to violate the state's restriction on providing an abortion, punishable by imprisonment and fines.
• The state permits the pregnant person and/or family members to sue the person who provided an abortion in violation of the state's abortion restriction.
• State law prohibits healthcare professionals inside the state from providing an abortion using a specific method known as Dilation and Extraction (D&X). This is sometimes referred to as a "partial birth" abortion ban, although this term has no clinical definition.

Barriers

• The state allows multiple types of healthcare professionals, not just doctors, to provide abortions, such as physician assistants, certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, or other qualified medical professionals. The state may limit which types of providers can provide abortions and under what circumstances, including the abortion method or gestational age.

Minors

• State law requires healthcare professionals inside the state to meet certain requirements before providing an abortion to minors below the age of 18.
• Before providing an abortion to a minor inside the state, the state requires an abortion provider to notify their parent or guardian.
• The state allows a judge to excuse a minor from having to notify or get consent from their parent or guardian before having an abortion inside the state. This is referred to as "judicial bypass."

Telehealth

• The state allows healthcare professionals inside the state to provide medication abortion through telehealth.

Insurance

• Medicaid funds may pay for abortion in the state in cases of rape, incest, or when the pregnant person's life is endangered. This is the federal minimum requirement for Medicaid coverage of abortion.
