Abortion is a medical procedure that ends a pregnancy. The legality of abortion has been litigated in the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts since the 1973 case of Roe v. Wade.

In 2022, in the case titled Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, the Supreme Court reversed its decision in Roe v. Wade. The legality of abortion—including access to the procedure and any restrictions on it—is now determined on a state by state basis, with each state's abortion laws applying only within its borders.

In Florida, following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the authority to regulate abortion to the states, the state's own statutes and regulations on abortion became the governing law. Florida has enacted laws that place certain restrictions on abortion. As of the knowledge cutoff in 2023, Florida law prohibits most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions to save the life of the pregnant woman or to prevent serious injury to the woman. There are no exceptions for rape or incest. The law requires a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion can be performed, and minors seeking an abortion must obtain parental consent. Providers must also offer the woman the opportunity to view an ultrasound before performing an abortion. These regulations are subject to change, and it is important for individuals seeking or providing abortion services in Florida to consult with an attorney or review current state laws to ensure compliance.
