'''OVERVIEW'''
'''OVERVIEW'''


As a major American city, you can find many health care resources in Miami. For most forms of birth control, you will need a prescription. If you're a minor, you'll typically need parental permission to obtain birth control. You can purchase many brands of emergency contraception (the morning after pill), regardless of age, but note that this may not apply to all ECP brands. There are many places where you can receive free or low-cost STI tests. There is a large LGBTQ community in Miami, and some STI resources focus on the community. Regarding pregnancy, parental leave is covered under FMLA, though this does not cover all individuals. Finally, abortion is available upon request for the first 24 weeks after the last menstrual cycle.

In the United States, abortion has been fully legal since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision (1973). In the state of Florida, people can obtain abortions upon request in the first 24 weeks after the last menstrual cycle. After 24 weeks, people can only obtain an abortion if their life or health is endangered by the pregnancy. If someone is a minor (under 18 years old), their parents must be notified before they obtain an abortion. Furthermore, before someone obtains an abortion, they must receive an ultrasound and the health care provider must ask if they want to see the image.<ref>[https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/state-facts-about-abortion-florida State Facts About Abortion: Florida]</ref>
