Where can I find abortion services in Los Angeles?

You have several options for accessing abortion services in LA:

1. Abortion pill (medication abortion): Available up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, this option involves taking two FDA-approved medications—mifepristone and misoprostol— at home or anywhere you’re staying. A medication abortion involves cramping and bleeding, similar to a heavy period, and is over 98% effective at ending a pregnancy. You can get abortion pills mailed to your door and virtual support from Hey Jane’s judgment-free care team. Start here.

2. In-person clinics: Located throughout the city, clinics are licensed health centers that can offer procedural abortions at any point in a pregnancy, or abortion pills up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. Every clinic is different—some offer same-day or weekend appointments, while others may take weeks or days to be seen depending on patient demand.

What are my options for a medical abortion in Los Angeles?

A medical abortion (abortion pill) is available up to 10 weeks of pregnancy and can be taken safely at home. It involves two medications—mifepristone, which stops the pregnancy from growing, and misoprostol, which helps the body cramp to expel the pregnancy. Together, they are over 95% effective.

After taking the first pill, mifepristone, you’ll take misoprostol 6 to 48 hours later. Cramping and bleeding typically begin within a few hours, and most people pass the pregnancy within 24–72 hours. The experience can feel similar to a heavy period, and it's normal to have intense cramps, bleeding, and fatigue for a few days afterward.

You can get the abortion pill through clinics or telehealth services that ship throughout Oregon, like Hey Jane. You can also read more about what to expect during a medication abortion.

How late can you get an abortion in Los Angeles?

You can be prescribed abortion medication, a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, 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 than that, you can get an elective in-clinic procedural abortion before fetal viability (typically about 24-26 weeks) as determined by a health care provider. Beyond that, abortion is only legal in California if the pregnant person’s life or health is at risk, or if the fetus will not survive.
