What you need to know about Delaware abortion laws
On January 1, 2025 Delaware put HB110 into effect to require all state Medicaid plans and most private insurance plans to cover abortion services. The benefit is typically capped at $750 per year.
Delaware abortion laws are constantly evolving. Stay up to date on the latest.
How late can you get an abortion in Delaware?
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 Delaware if a health care professional determines it is necessary to protect your life or health, or if the fetus cannot survive outside the uterus without extraordinary medical measures.
Who can get an abortion in Delaware?
Anyone with a uterus can get an abortion in Delaware until the pregnancy is viable (usually 24-26 weeks into a pregnancy).
It’s also legal for non-Delaware residents to get an abortion in Delaware within this timeframe. If you live in a state where you’re unable to get an abortion, you can travel to Delaware to get the care that you need. And, as a Delaware resident, it’s legal for you to get an abortion in other states that permit abortion.
College students, minors, and undocumented immigrants all have the right to get an abortion in Delaware through these timeframes as well. While parental consent is not needed, minors under 16 must notify a parent or legal guardian before an abortion. However, a judge can waive this requirement.
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 or womb.
For some, this treatment can feel like a heavy period, but for others, it can feel much more intense. Everyone's experience is different.
While the majority of abortions performed in the US are medication abortions, about 73% of adults don’t know about this option, and baseless lawsuits only serve to further confuse people.
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. In fact, you can get pregnant almost immediately after having an abortion.
That’s not all:
- The abortion pill is safer than Tylenol (acetaminophen)
- The abortion pill is safer than Viagra (sildenafil)
- Despite myths that say otherwise, having an abortion does not increase your risk for breast cancer and does not cause depression.

How to find an abortion clinic in Delaware
If you’re more than 10 weeks pregnant, or prefer to get an abortion in-person, there are some factors to keep in mind when searching for the right abortion clinic.
- First, calculate how far along you are in your pregnancy with our online estimator. Some clinics only offer abortion procedures up until a certain gestational age, so you’ll want to call to confirm that you’re eligible before scheduling. You may also want to consider the cost of an abortion in Delaware, which is different for medication versus procedural.
- Beware of fake clinics! When searching for clinics online, use caution. You’ll want to avoid scheduling with a fake clinic, sometimes called a “crisis pregnancy center,” a type of organization that often appears clinical online and in-person, but are generally not medical clinics and are funded by anti-choice organizations aimed at preventing pregnant people from accessing abortion care. Horrible, we know. INeedAnA.com has a helpful search tool for locating real abortion clinics.
Abortion in Delaware is safe and legal
And it’s a basic health care need for millions of people who can become pregnant. In fact, about 1 in 4 people with a uterus will have at least one abortion in their lifetime.
Right now, you can have an abortion for any reason in Delaware until fetal viability, which is the stage of pregnancy when a fetus has developed enough that it is able to survive outside the uterus with extreme medical help. It usually happens around 24 to 26 weeks of pregnancy, but is determined by a physician on a case-by-case basis.
There are several ways to end a pregnancy, including in-clinic procedures and FDA-approved abortion pills which can be taken at home and have less than a 1% risk of complications. Factors like the gestational age of the fetus, your medical history, and your personal preferences will help determine which methods of abortion are best for your situation.
In pregnancies up to 10 weeks, medication abortion treatments can be completed at home through virtual providers like Hey Jane. After completing our secure intake process online, you’ll be connected with one of our licensed medical providers. If they determine you’re eligible for treatment, you’ll receive your medication within a few days in discreet packaging, plus anti-nausea medication and ibuprofen to help with any side effects. You’ll continue to have access to our expert and compassionate clinical care team for medical and emotional support along the way.
