Abortion is legal in Michigan

Yes! Abortion is legal in Michigan until viability, which is generally considered to happen around 24 weeks. Planned Parenthood of Michigan provides abortion care to patients up to 20 weeks gestation.

You can schedule your appointment online (see "book an appointment" below)  or call 800-230-7526.

We offer medication abortion at all Michigan health centers and via telehealth appointments. Medication abortion (also called the abortion pill) is a safe and effective way to end an early pregnancy. It involves taking two different medicines — mifepristone and misoprostol (both must be taken while you are in the state of Michigan) — and is available at PPMI up to 11 weeks gestation. The administration of these medications causes the abortion; no procedure is involved. 

We also offer in-clinic abortion procedures at the Kalamazoo, Flint, and Power Family (Ann Arbor) health centers. Learn more information about the abortion services PPMI offers.

Yes. To have an abortion in Michigan, you must complete state-mandated counseling and consent paperwork at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. You can do this online or stop by any Planned Parenthood of Michigan health center to complete the paperwork in-person. Click here to access the informed consent information. 

You should be aware that these materials were created by the State of Michigan through legislation drafted by anti-abortion groups — not by the medical professionals at Planned Parenthood. As the most trusted name in reproductive health care, we do not believe that all of the information on the forms is unbiased or medically accurate. If you have any questions about any of the information you view on that website, please call Planned Parenthood at 800-230-7526.

If you are 18 years or older, you will need a picture ID that clearly states your date of birth. If you are under the age of 18 with parental consent, you will need a copy of your birth certificate, your guardian’s picture ID, and your picture or school ID. If you are under the age of 18 with a judicial bypass, you will need all paperwork provided by the judge and a picture or school ID.

Minors (under age 18) must provide written consent from at least one legal guardian to have an abortion. If a legal guardian is not available or refuses to give their consent, or if the minor does not want to seek the consent of a legal guardian, the minor may ask a court for a waiver of parental consent, also known as a judicial bypass.

You can access judicial bypass information here. Please call us for more information on how to obtain a judicial bypass in Michigan.

Patients will be asked about their needs and can be connected with navigators when scheduling an appointment. You can contact a patient navigator by email.

Planned Parenthood of Michigan accepts cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards, cashier’s checks, and money orders. We also accept Apple Pay and Google Pay. We are not able to accept starter checks or American Express. Payment is due for all services at the time of the visit.

For those choosing medication abortion (the abortion pill), PPMI can prescribe over-the-counter non-narcotic pain medication. 

In-clinic abortion patients have several options for managing discomfort. These include pills or medications administered through an IV.
