What you need to know about New Jersey abortion laws
Abortion in New Jersey is legal at any point during a pregnancy. There are no gestational age limits that restrict abortion access based on how many weeks pregnant you are.
Since 1983, New Jersey has recognized abortion care as a constitutional right and continues to uphold access safe and legal abortion services. More recently, New Jersey passed a law in January 2022 guaranteeing the right to terminate or keep a pregnancy.
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 at any point during pregnancy. Beyond that, abortion is only legal in New Jersey if the pregnant person’s life or health is at risk or if the fetus will not survive.
Who can get an abortion in New Jersey?
Anyone with a uterus can get an abortion in New Jersey at any point during pregnancy.
It’s also legal for non-New Jersey residents to get an abortion in New Jersey within this timeframe. If you live in a state where you’re unable to get an abortion, you can travel to New Jersey to get the care that you need. And, as a New Jersey 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 New Jersey through these timeframes as well. If you’re under 18 years old, you do not need to notify a parent or guardian as the state determined the previous parental notification requirement was unconstitutional and is no longer enforced.

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.

How to find an abortion clinic in New Jersey
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.
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 New Jersey 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 Maryland at any point during a pregnancy.
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.
