Michigan's 24 Hour Wait Law

Before obtaining an abortion, Michigan law states that a woman has the option to review or not review these fetal development materials. However, you must sign the informed consent form before your abortion can be performed.

You should know that the materials were created by the State of Michigan through legislation drafted by Right to Life of Michigan. While the State claims they are medically accurate and unbiased, we do not necessarily agree. If you have any questions about any of the information you view on this website, please call Planned Parenthood or your abortion provider.
