Tennessee
You can get an abortion in Tennessee but only with an in-person provider. Telemedicine for abortion care is prohibited in the state.
- Tennessee requires in-clinic counseling, then waiting 48 hours before having an abortion. This counseling requires two trips to the clinic.
- If you are under age 18 in Tennessee, a parent or guardian must give permission for your abortion. If this is not an option for you, contact the JB Hotline.
