Hey Jane was amazing and super quick delivery!
Hey Jane allowed me to terminate my pregnancy early at 5 weeks, when my doctors wouldn’t see me until 8 to 10 weeks
Hey Jane allowed me to terminate my pregnancy early at 5 weeks, when my doctors wouldn’t see me until 8 to 10 weeks. It was the first time I’d done an abortion and was incredibly scared and I wanted to get it done as soon as possible. I was able to do it comfortably in my home and it was no less comfortable than a normal period. I knew if I waited for the doctor it would be more painful and the baby would be more developed. It doesn’t make sense that this is “woman’s care” in New York State - to not see me until later in my pregnancy. I also had multiple in person doctors cancel on me. I cannot thank Hey Jane enough for supporting me through this decision and helping me so quickly.

It was very helpful experience, they asked many questions to figure out my condition and sent some files about medication.

What you need to know about New York abortion laws
Abortion in New York is legal until 24 weeks of pregnancy. After 24 weeks, you can have an abortion if your life or health are at risk, or if the fetus will not survive.
New York legalized abortion in 1970 and has continued to uphold the right to access safe and legal abortion services since then.
New York abortion laws are constantly evolving. Stay up to date on the latest.
What is the Reproductive Health Act in New York?
The Reproductive Health Act (RHA) in New York, passed in January of 2019, was a landmark law that codified the right to abortion in the state. This aligned New York with the protections established by Roe v. Wade, which was overturned in 2022.
The RHA moved abortion from the state's penal code to public health law, ensuring that abortion is treated as healthcare rather than a potentially criminal act.
The RHA also expanded who can perform abortions, allowing licensed healthcare practitioners such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants to provide abortion care, increasing access across the state.
How late can you get an abortion in New York?
You can be prescribed abortion medication, a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, up to 10 weeks after the first day of your last menstrual period. Estimate how far along your pregnancy is with our online calculator.
If your pregnancy is further along than that, you can get an elective in-clinic procedural abortion until 24 weeks into pregnancy. Beyond that, abortion is only legal in New York if the pregnant person’s life or health is at risk or if the fetus will not survive.
Who can get an abortion in New York?
Anyone with a uterus can get an abortion in New York until 24 weeks of pregnancy. After that, abortion is only allowed if the life or health of the pregnant person is at risk or if the fetus will not survive.
It’s also legal for non-New York residents to get an abortion in New York within this timeframe. If you live in a state where you’re unable to get an abortion, you can travel to New York to get the care that you need. And, as a New York resident, it’s legal for you to get an abortion in other states that permit abortion.
College students, minors, and undocumented immigrants all have the right to get an abortion in New York through these timeframes as well. If you're younger than 18, you can consent to an abortion without notifying a parent.
The abortion pill explained
The abortion pill is actually two medications taken separately—mifepristone and misoprostol. The first medication, mifepristone, blocks the pregnancy hormone (progesterone), which stops a pregnancy from growing. The second medication, misoprostol, causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus or womb.
For some, this treatment can feel like a heavy period, but for others, it can feel much more intense. Everyone's experience is different.
While the majority of abortions performed in the US are medication abortions, about 73% of adults don’t know about this option, and baseless lawsuits only serve to further confuse people.
Medication abortions are safe and highly effective
Medication abortion is very safe. Complications from this treatment are very uncommon— they occur in less than 1% of patients. When used correctly, the medications work up to 99.6% of the time. Read our guide on what to expect after taking abortion pills for more information.
Getting a medication abortion does not lower your chances of getting or staying pregnant in the future; it does not cause infertility or cause birth defects in a future pregnancy. In fact, you can get pregnant almost immediately after having an abortion.
That’s not all:
- The abortion pill is safer than Tylenol (acetaminophen)
- The abortion pill is safer than Viagra (sildenafil)
- Despite myths that say otherwise, having an abortion does not increase your risk for breast cancer and does not cause depression.
If you still have questions or need additional help, check out our resource center or FAQs for answers to commonly asked questions.
How to find an abortion clinic in New York
If you’re more than 10 weeks pregnant, or prefer to get an abortion in-person, there are some factors to keep in mind when searching for the right abortion clinic.
- First, calculate how far along you are in your pregnancy with our online estimator. Some clinics only offer abortion procedures up until a certain gestational age, so you’ll want to call to confirm that you’re eligible before scheduling.
- Consider factors like the cost, logistics, and experience of an abortion in New York, which is different for medication versus procedural.
- Beware of fake clinics! When searching for clinics online, use caution. You’ll want to avoid scheduling with a fake clinic, sometimes called a “crisis pregnancy center,” a type of organization that often appears clinical online and in-person, but are generally not medical clinics and are funded by anti-choice organizations aimed at preventing pregnant people from accessing abortion care. Horrible, we know. INeedAnA.com has a helpful search tool for locating real abortion clinics.
Abortion in New York is safe and legal
And it’s a basic health care need for millions of people who can become pregnant. In fact, about 1 in 4 people with a uterus will have at least one abortion in their lifetime.
Right now, you can have an abortion for any reason in New York until 24 weeks.
There are several ways to end a pregnancy, including in-clinic procedures and FDA-approved abortion pills which can be taken at home and have less than a 1% risk of complications. Factors like the gestational age of the fetus, your medical history, and your personal preferences will help determine which methods of abortion are best for your situation.
In pregnancies up to 10 weeks, medication abortion treatments can be completed at home through virtual providers like Hey Jane. After completing our secure intake process online, you’ll be connected with one of our licensed medical providers. If they determine you’re eligible for treatment, you’ll receive your medication within a few days in discreet packaging, plus anti-nausea medication and ibuprofen to help with any side effects. You’ll continue to have access to our expert and compassionate clinical care team for medical and emotional support along the way.
