Abortion laws vary by state in the United States. As of October 2023, abortion is protected by state law in 21 states and the District of Columbia. However, it is at risk of being severely limited or prohibited in 26 states and three territories. In Idaho and Indiana, abortion is currently banned in almost all circumstances.

The Center for Reproductive Rights categorizes states based on their abortion laws. States where abortion is protected and access is expanded are categorized as "Expanded Access". States that have expressed a desire to prohibit abortion entirely are categorized as "Hostile". Finally, states that ban abortion entirely and enforce those bans through criminal penalties are characterized as "Illegal".
