Abortion available until 22 weeks in Wisconsin
- As of 2026, abortion is legal to provide until 22 weeks of pregnancy in Wisconsin. Anyone getting an abortion from a healthcare provider in Wisconsin must:
- get counseling in person from an abortion provider; and then
- wait 24 hours before they can have their abortion.
- After 22 weeks, healthcare professionals can provide abortions if necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant person. You can learn more about emergency medical treatment under Getting the medical care you need on our Legal Rights and Risk page.
Is telehealth legal in Wisconsin?
- Abortion providers are not allowed to prescribe abortion pills through a telehealth appointment in Wisconsin. Anyone having a medication abortion must meet with an abortion provider in-person. You can learn more under Abortion Pills on our Legal Rights and Risk page.
Are abortion pills by mail and self-managed abortion legal in Wisconsin?
- 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 Wisconsin 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.

Consent
If you are under 18 years old in Wisconsin
- You have the right to get an abortion, but you must have the consent (written permission) of one parent, legal guardian, or one of the following adult family members, who is over the age of 25:
- a grandparent;
- an aunt or uncle;
- a sister or brother;
- or a foster parent (if you are living in a foster home and one of your parents has signed a paper allowing your foster parent to give permission for you to get medical care).
- If you cannot or do not want to involve one of these family members, or if they do 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 the hearing within 2 days of when you ask for a judicial bypass. And the judge must make a decision within 3 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. We can connect you with a lawyer who can help you through every step of the 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.
