AS OF JANUARY 1ST, 2022, THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS WERE IN PLACE:

• Women’s Right to Know Act. This act requires women seeking an abortion to receive certain information compiled by the State at least 48 hours before initiating their procedure to ensure they are well-informed.
• Women seeking an abortion must first receive an ultrasound to determine how far along they are. Currently in Alabama, abortions can only be performed in the first 19 weeks of pregnancy. Abortions at 20 or more weeks are allowed only in cases where the mother’s life or health is severely endangered.
• Minors seeking abortions must have parental consent before an abortion can be performed.

• Telemedicine abortions are prohibited.

The price of medical (non-surgical) and surgical abortion procedures can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. This range is based upon a number of factors, including stage of pregnancy, type of abortion procedure, where you live, and the type of anesthesia used. Price also varies by provider; clinics and private practice abortionists typically offer lower costs than hospitals.
