Washington
Status of Abortion:
LEGAL
Washington law (WA RCW Chapter 9.02) mirrors the language of the Roe v. Wade decision. It makes abortion fully accessible through the first 24 weeks, and available even after that if the pregnancy has any possible negative impact on the mother’s health, including her mental health. Abortion is essentially completely legal up until birth.
Abolition History:
In 2019, State Rep. Matt Shea introduced the Abolition of Abortion in Washington Act.
