Abortion in Utah

Utah Abortion Laws

requires pre-abortion visit then 72-hour delay

Utah requires a pregnant person to **go to an in-person pre-abortion visit with their provider and then wait at least 72 hours** before they can have their actual abortion visit. This delay – called a 'waiting period' – can be waived if your health is at risk because of the pregnancy. Also, if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest or if the patient is younger than 15.

get consent from a parent

**If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must give you permission to get an abortion.** If getting the permission of a parent or legal guardian is not an option for you, you can seek a judicial bypass. A judicial bypass allows you to waive the requirement for parental involvement. If you are in Utah and would like free legal support to help you navigate the judicial bypass process, call or text the Utah Judicial Bypass Project at [(385) 202-3811](tel:3852023811) or email ujb@acluutah.org.
