Michigan's 24 Hour Wait Law

If at all possible, we recommend that you stop by Planned Parenthood to pick up these materials in person or have them mailed to you to avoid some of the problems with accessing them over the public Internet. This State mandated law says the patient has the option to review or not review these 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 at (269) 372-1200.

There are about 25 pages on the website. You are not required to view all of them. At a minimum, clicking on each section heading once and viewing the information related to your procedure, the length of your pregnancy, the prenatal, and parenting pages is required. At the bottom of the "Parenting" page and click on continue. Then click on "Informed Consent Internet Confirmation Form." Print this and bring it with you to your appointment. We cannot perform your abortion without this form.

This form is good for only 2 weeks. You will be provided more information at your consultation and any questions you have will be addressed.
