Florida is characterized as a most restrictive state by the Guttmacher Institute.

Abortion is banned after six weeks gestational duration (with exceptions for preservation of the mother’s life or physical health, lethal fetal abnormalities during the first and second trimester, or certain cases of rape or incest).

In the US, people who are not white and people with low incomes are more likely to experience barriers to reproductive health care access.
 

IN THIS STATE

As of 2023, 4.4 million women¹ are of reproductive age in Florida.

• 10.9 percent are low income (lower than the national average)
• 3.6 percent are likely eligible for Medicaid, if they have dependent children, because their income is at or below 27 percent of the federal poverty level (similar to the national average)
• 57.3 percent are nonwhite, and Hispanic people (31.2 percent) and Black people (17.0 percent) are the largest nonwhite groups (all higher than the national average)
• 15.1 percent are uninsured (higher than the national average)
   

Florida has not expanded Medicaid and only provides coverage to parents of dependent children with incomes up to 26 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) and pregnant women up to 196 percent of FPL. Adults without dependent children are not eligible for Medicaid. Florida has extended pregnancy-related Medicaid coverage up to 12 months postpartum. Florida does not use state funds to cover abortion for Medicaid beneficiaries with limited exceptions. The state does cover family planning services for people not otherwise eligible for Medicaid with incomes up to 196 percent of FPL.

Accessing Abortion Care

In 2020, 58 clinics provided abortions. In 2025, 39 clinics provided abortions. This number does not include hospitals.

Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are organizations—often operated by anti-abortion, nonmedical, and/or religiously affiliated groups—that aim to deter pregnant people from certain reproductive health care services, including abortion and some contraceptive methods. In 2023, there were 161 clinics in Florida. These centers receive state funding.
