California

Quick Facts:

• Currently: Abortion is legal
• Post Roe v. Wade: Abortion will remain legal

State Summary:

• Abortion, in general, is legal under California state law. However, California law places some limits on when a pregnant woman can terminate her pregnancy. Specifically, a woman can get an abortion up until her fetus becomes viable. And only qualified medical providers are allowed to perform legal abortions. If an abortion is performed outside the legal parameters, it can lead to criminal charges.
