No matter their age, every person in New Mexico has the legal right to get an abortion.
Unlike other states, New Mexico does not limit abortion based on {{viability}{Viability is a medical term that means when a fetus could potentially survive outside of the womb}} or a specific number of weeks. Abortion clinics in New Mexico can perform abortion up to 32 weeks. Check with your clinic to get more specific information about how many weeks pregnant you can be and still have an abortion.
No. In New Mexico, there are no extra restrictions for people under 18. You do not need to tell or involve an adult in your decision to have an abortion if you do not want to.
You can get help paying for your abortion. Your clinic can help you cover the cost of your abortion through an abortion fund.
