Abortion in New Jersey

Some states require a waiting period – a delay of hours or days – before a pregnant person can have an abortion in that state. **New Jersey does not require you to go through a waiting period before getting an abortion.**

**Parental involvement is not required in New Jersey.** If you're younger than 18, you can consent to an abortion and do not have to notify your parents.

There is no law limiting the availability of abortion based on how far along in pregnancy you are. Check with each abortion provider to find out what their limits are.
