ABORTION LAWS IN IL

Definition of Legal Abortion in the State of IL

If the fetus is not viable (able to survive outside the womb), and abortion is not needed to protect the mother’s health, an MD must confirm non-viability.

If the fetus is viable, the abortion must be confirmed by an MD as needed to protect the life and health of the mother. 1

IL Abortion Laws Regarding Minors

In Illinois, a minor’s parent or guardian must be informed of the minor’s intent to receive an abortion. The parent or guardian must sign a form stating that they have been informed, but they do not need to sign for the procedure itself. This must take place a minimum of 48 hours before the procedure. Exceptions to this law can be made in the cases of medical emergency, or abuse, assault, incest, or neglect . 2 3
