If you’re under 18 and seeking abortion care, we’re here for you! We know this is a confusing and scary time and we can help you find the information and support you need.
Indiana’s abortion ban says that people can only get an abortion in Indiana if they meet one of the following exceptions – their pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, they have been diagnosed with a lethal fetal anomaly, or the pregnancy poses a serious threat to their life or physical health.
If you are under 18 years old, you must meet one of these exceptions AND get consent of one parent or guardian – or get what’s called a judicial bypass – before you can have an abortion in Indiana, unless the pregnancy poses a serious threat to your life or physical health.
We can help you understand your options, explain how the judicial bypass process works, and connect you to a free lawyer and funding assistance for your abortion if needed. Just text or call us at (314) 476-6917.
You can also leave Indiana to access abortion care. For example, Illinois doesn’t have parental involvement laws, which means that young people can have an abortion without involving a parent or guardian in the decision.
