- Medicaid Presumptive Eligibility (MPE): Offers immediate, temporary coverage for outpatient services for pregnant people.
- Moms & Babies: Offers coverage for people while they are pregnant and for 12 months after the baby is born—regardless of whether the pregnancy ended as a result of birth, miscarriage, or abortion.

What you need to know about Illinois abortion laws
In 2019, Illinois enacted a statutory protection for abortion as a fundamental right. In January 2023, Illinois enacted a law that protects providers, patients, and people who help others access abortion care from any out-of-state investigations or legal actions.
Illinois abortion laws are constantly evolving. Stay up to date on the latest.
How late can you get an abortion in Illinois?
You can be prescribed medication abortion up to 10 weeks after the first day of your last menstrual period. Estimate how far along your pregnancy is with our online calculator.
If your pregnancy is further along, you can get an elective in-clinic procedural abortion before fetal viability (typically about 24-26 weeks) as determined by a health care provider.
Who can get an abortion in Illinois?
Anyone with a uterus can get an abortion in Illinois until the pregnancy is viable (usually 24-26 weeks into a pregnancy).
It’s also legal for non-Illinois residents to get an abortion in Illinois. If you live in a state where you’re unable to get an abortion, you can travel to Illinois to get the care that you need.
If you are younger than 18, you do not have to notify or get permission from your parent or guardian before you have an abortion.
The abortion pill explained
The abortion pill is actually two medications taken separately—mifepristone and misoprostol. The first medication, mifepristone, blocks the pregnancy hormone (progesterone), which stops a pregnancy from growing. The second medication, misoprostol, causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus.
Medication abortions are safe and highly effective
Medication abortion is very safe. Complications from this treatment are very uncommon—they occur in less than 1% of patients. When used correctly, the medications work up to 99.6% of the time. Read our guide on what to expect after taking abortion pills for more information.
Getting a medication abortion does not lower your chances of getting or staying pregnant in the future; it does not cause infertility or cause birth defects in a future pregnancy.
Having an abortion does not increase your risk for breast cancer and does not cause depression.
If you still have questions, check out our resource center or FAQs.
