An abortion generally costs less than $800, according to Planned Parenthood, and that has not changed a great deal in recent years. However, access to abortions was radically trimmed after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, which ended federal protections for the procedure and opened the door to state-level restrictions on abortions.
You can use Planned Parenthoodās state-by-state guide on abortion access to determine what health care is accessible in your area.
Residents of at least 25 states now have no or severely limited legal access to abortion services, as of August 2022. Those who choose to travel to another state for the medical procedure will have to take on additional costs, while medication abortion (which now accounts for more than half of all abortions) is likely to continue to grow as an option.
