    Abortion in Illinois is legal until "viability." Viability is the stage of pregnancy when a fetus has developed enough that it is able to survive outside the uterus with medical help. It usually happens around 24 to 26 weeks of pregnancy, but it depends on how the fetus is developing and can be different for every pregnancy. A health care provider can determine whether a pregnancy has reached viability.


CHOICES performs procedural abortions up to 14 weeks and 6 days and provides medication abortions up to 12 weeks. 

Exceptions that may allow you to get an abortion in Illinois after viability (around 24 to 26 weeks of pregnancy)

  • To save the pregnant person's life
  • To preserve the pregnant person's general health (can include mental health)
