The information on this page is not legal advice. We do not sell or provide abortion pills. We cannot give medical advice.
As of May 14, 2026, all medication abortion pills are currently available by telehealth and mail. The Supreme Court of the United States has blocked the May 1, 2026 decision by a federal appeals court that temporarily prevented healthcare providers in all 50 states from prescribing and mailing mifepristone via telehealth. This means that all medication abortion pills will continue to be available by telehealth in Montana until the appeal is over.

Is telehealth legal in Montana?

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

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.

Notification
If you are under 16 years old
- You have the right to get an abortion, but the abortion provider must tell your parent or legal guardian about your decision to have an abortion at least 48 hours in advance. This is called parental notice.
- Your parent does NOT need to agree with your decision.
- If you cannot or do not want to involve your parents, or if they will not support your decision, you can ask the court for a judicial waiver. 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 the hearing and a judge must make a decision within 2 days (not including holidays and weekends) of asking for a judicial waiver. You can learn more about the judicial waiver process under Judicial Bypass on our Young People & Abortion page.
- You have the right to a free lawyer in a judicial waiver hearing. 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.
