An Arizona state court ruled that the laws forcing people to wait 24 hours, receive counseling, and get an ultrasound before an abortion are unconstitutional. The court also ruled that the laws banning telehealth and the mailing of abortion pills are unconstitutional. This means that people in Arizona should now be able to get care at a clinic with one appointment or through telehealth.

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 form to speak with a lawyer.
You also have the right to travel to a state that does not have parental involvement laws.
