Medication abortion and Maryland law

Medication abortion (mifepristone + misoprostol) is the most common abortion method in the US and is typically used early in pregnancy. Whether it can be prescribed via telehealth and mailed to Maryland depends on state law (state-law protected) and on shield-law providers operating from protected states. Plan C maintains the most current state-by-state picture, and Aid Access serves all 50 states with clinician support. If cost is a barrier, abortionfunds.org can help.

Maryland's legal status, in practice

Abortion is legal in Maryland — state-law protected. Providers in Maryland also serve many patients traveling from restricted states, so appointment availability can vary; booking ahead and asking about financial or travel assistance is still worth doing.
