Abortion is LEGAL UNTIL FETAL VIABILITY in Connecticut, generally defined as approximately 24–24 weeks of pregnancy. After viability, abortion may be permitted to protect the life or health of the pregnant person.

The gestational limit in Connecticut is 24 weeks of pregnancy (measured from the last menstrual period, unless otherwise specified). Procedures must be initiated before this limit is reached.

After viability (approximately 24 weeks), abortion is permitted to preserve the life or health of the pregnant person.

Medication abortion (mifepristone + misoprostol) is available in Connecticut through licensed pharmacies under a prescription, in addition to clinic-based dispensing. Telehealth abortion services are available within the state's gestational limits.

Connecticut enacted shield law protections in 2022 to protect providers who treat out-of-state patients. The Reproductive Privacy Act codifies abortion rights.
