New Hampshire

Abortion is LEGAL UNTIL FETAL VIABILITY in New Hampshire, 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 New Hampshire is 24 weeks of pregnancy (measured from the last menstrual period, unless otherwise specified). Procedures must be initiated before this limit is reached.

Abortion is prohibited after 24 weeks except for fetal anomalies incompatible with life outside the womb and when necessary to prevent death or serious risk of substantial impairment of a bodily function.

New Hampshire requires parental notification (not consent) before a minor can obtain an abortion. A judicial bypass option is generally available.

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