How far into pregnancy

Abortion is allowed up to 13 weeks of pregnancy.
Pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last period, not from conception.
Exceptions after that point: to save your life; to protect your health, including mental health; if the fetus has a serious or fatal health condition; if the pregnancy is from rape or incest.
A procedure called intact dilation and extraction (D&X) is banned.
Good to know: The exceptions for rape and incest and for a fetal indication are limited, and only allow abortions in these cases prior to 26 weeks.

You must be given state-required information (counseling) before your abortion.
There is a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion.
You'll need to make two separate trips to the clinic: one for required counseling, then another for the abortion.

If you're under 18, a parent or legal guardian must give permission.
If you can't involve a parent, you can ask a judge for permission instead. This is called a judicial bypass, and free legal help is available.
Good to know: Guam allows some paths for alternate consent from a sibling over twenty-one years old or a stepparent of grandparent.

Breaking the abortion ban is a felony, a serious crime that can mean prison time.
