Maryland Abortion Law 2025: What Patients Need to Know
In 2025, Maryland continues to be one of the most protective states when it comes to abortion rights, and that matters more than ever. With restrictions sweeping the country, people from neighboring states—and even farther—are turning to Maryland for safe, legal care. If you’re considering an abortion, here’s what you need to know about Maryland abortion law in 2025, and how Metropolitan Family Planning Clinic (MFPC) is here to help.
Abortion is Legal in Maryland—and Your Rights Are Protected
Unlike many states that have enacted total bans or strict limitations, abortion remains fully legal in Maryland. You can access care up to fetal viability, typically around 24–26 weeks. After that point, abortions are permitted if the patient’s life or health is at risk, including mental health risks.
There are no mandatory waiting periods, no parental consent requirements for minors, and no unnecessary ultrasound laws. Maryland’s approach prioritizes your privacy, your dignity, and your autonomy.
What Changed in 2025?
New updates to Maryland abortion law in 2025 have made access even stronger, particularly in response to cross-border legal threats and rising patient demand:
- Shield laws are now active to protect both patients and providers from out-of-state investigations. If you travel to Maryland for care, you are legally protected from penalties in your home state.
- State funding has expanded for abortion care access, making financial support more available, especially for lower-income patients and those traveling from states with bans.
- Training expansion programs are helping more providers across the state offer abortion care, so appointments are more accessible and delays are minimal.
These updates reflect Maryland’s commitment to being a haven for reproductive healthcare.
