Navigating Abortion Laws in Your State
The legal status of abortion in the United States now varies widely from state to state. In June 2022, the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision overturned Roe v. Wade, ending federal abortion protections and allowing each state to set its own laws.
As a result, some states have banned most abortions, while others protect access.
At The Cline Centers – a Jackson, Mississippi pregnancy resource center that provides information on all options (but does not perform abortions) – we understand how confusing this patchwork of laws can be.
This comprehensive, neutral guide outlines current abortion laws in all 50 states, including key restrictions and recent legislative changes, to help you understand what is legal in your state. (All information is current as of early 2025, but remember that laws can change; always verify with official sources or legal counsel for the latest updates.)
Below, is a drop down of each state in the United States with a summary of its abortion laws. Find your state to see the legality of abortion, any gestational limits, exceptions, and notable recent updates in law. Our goal is to provide clear facts so you can navigate your options within the law.
