Are abortion pills by mail and self-managed abortion legal in Arizona?

  • Many people order abortion pills by mail to end a pregnancy at home. These pills can come from healthcare providers licensed in other states. People also order abortion pills by mail without the help of a healthcare provider.
  • Under Arizona law, it is not a crime for pregnant people to end your own pregnancy with abortion pills or by any other method. But what the law says and what happens in reality can be very different.
  • If you have questions about your legal rights and risk, call 844-868-2812 or contact us through our secure online form to speak with a lawyer.

To find an abortion provider, go to:

 

An abortion fund or a practical support organization is an organization that can help pay for all or some of the costs of getting an abortion. Some funds only pay for the procedure. Others only pay for costs like travel, hotel, or childcare. Most require that you have an appointment at a clinic first.

Consent

If you are under 18 years old

  • You have the right to get an abortion, but you must have the consent (written permission) of one parent or a legal guardian.
  • If you cannot or do not want to involve a parent, or your parent does not support your decision, you can ask a court for a judicial bypass. This is a legal process that lets you ask a judge for permission to decide on your own whether to have an abortion.
  • The court must schedule your hearing within 2 days (not including weekends or holidays) of when you ask for a judicial bypass. Then, a judge must make a decision within 2 days (not including weekends or holidays) of the hearing. You can learn more about the judicial bypass process under Judicial Bypass on our Young People & Abortion page.
  • You have the right to a free lawyer in a judicial bypass hearing. 
    • In Tucson, the Tucson Abortion Support Collective (TASC) provides emotional, informational, material, and logistical support to people seeking abortion care. You can visit the judicial bypass page of their website. You can also text or call them at (520) 235-6934 for assistance.
    • In all other parts of Arizona, we can connect you to a lawyer who can help you through every step of the judicial bypass process. Call 844-868-2812 or contact us through our secure online form to speak with a lawyer.

No matter your age, you have the constitutional right to travel to another state where abortions are still being legally provided.
