Are abortion pills by mail and self-managed abortion legal in Nevada?
- 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 Nevada law, it is a crime for pregnant people to end your own pregnancy with abortion pills or by any other method after 24 weeks of pregnancy. And before 24 weeks, 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 18 years old
- You have the right to get an abortion in Nevada. But starting July 22, 2025, abortion providers must tell a parent or legal guardian about your decision to have an abortion. This is called parental notice. Your parent or guardian 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 bypass. This is a legal process where a judge can give you permission to decide on your own whether to have an abortion. You can learn more about the judicial bypass process under Judicial Bypass on our Young People & Abortion page.
- We can talk to you about the process and your options, including free legal help through the entire judicial bypass process. Call 844-868-2812 or contact us through our secure online form to speak with a lawyer.
But no matter your age, you also have the right to travel to another state that does not have parental involvement laws.
