‍

Is abortion legal in Seattle?

Yes, abortion is legal in Seattle and throughout Washington. The state constitution recognizes abortion and contraception as fundamental rights, making it easier to get care compared to many other states.

Here’s what that means:

• Legal until fetal viability (usually 24-26 weeks of pregnancy) as determined by a health care provider
• Allowed after viability if your life or health is at risk
• Minors don’t need to notify, or get permission from, a parent or guardian
• No mandatory waiting periods or state-required counseling

Where can I find abortion services in Seattle?

You have several options for accessing abortion services in Seattle:

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 up to fetal viability (usually 24-26 weeks), 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 Seattle?

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 Washington, like Hey Jane. You can also read more about what to expect during a medication abortion. 

‍

How late can you get an abortion in Seattle?

You can get an abortion up to fetal viability (typically 24-26 weeks) into pregnancy as determined by a health care provider. Beyond that, you can get an abortion if a health care professional determines it is necessary to protect your life or health.
