Update on medication abortion

Every form of abortion—including medication abortion—is still available and protected in California.

On June 13, 2024, a US Supreme Court decision preserved access to mifepristone, which is used in medication abortions. This means medication abortions using mifepristone and misoprostol are still an option for anyone who wants an abortion. You can find a list of abortion providers and abortion procedure options in California on this website.

If you want to travel to California for a medication abortion, you can use our California abortion finder to find a health care provider. You can filter the results for providers that offer medication abortion either in-person or through telehealth.
