As the largest city in Arizona, you will find many health care resources in Phoenix. Like most other US cities, you'll need a prescription to obtain birth control (with the exception of condoms and a few other methods). You don't need a prescription to purchase emergency contraception (the morning after pill), and everyone, including minors, can purchase Plan B. Like other US cities, you can find the HPV vaccine. You can also find PrEP and PEP in Arizona, and we have provided more information on vendors below (in the "Medications and Vaccines" section). Abortion is legal, yet restrictions apply, include mandatory counseling, ultrasounds and a 24-hour wait period. | |||

In Arizona, you can obtain an abortion but restrictions apply. Before | In the United States, abortion has been fully legal since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision (1973). In Arizona, you can obtain an abortion but restrictions apply. Before you can receive an abortion, you must go through state-directed counseling, where the counselor will read a script that aims to discourage you from seeking out an abortion. You must also obtain an ultrasound at least 24 hours before the abortion, and the provider must ask you if she wants to see the ultrasound image. Following the counseling and ultrasound, you must then go through a 24-hour wait period before the abortion can be performed. The use of telemedicine for an abortion is prohibited.<ref>[https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/state-facts-about-abortion-arizona State Facts About Abortion: Arizona]</ref> | ||
If you're under 18 years old and want an abortion in Arizona, it's required that one of your parents consents to the abortion (i.e. "parental consent"). If you cannot manage to get the parental consent, you can try to get a "judicial bypass." This is when you ask a judge for permission instead or, if it's an emergency (for medical reasons), you can get special permission.<ref>[https://sexetc.org/states/arizona Sex in the States: Arizona]</ref> | If you're under 18 years old and want an abortion in Arizona, it's required that one of your parents consents to the abortion (i.e. "parental consent").

In Arizona, which is considered a "battleground state," abortion has been recently challenged. In 2012, a law passed in Arizona that prohibited abortions after 20 weeks of gestation (except for in cases where the pregnancy endangered the woman's life). This was later ruled to be unconstitutional by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 2013. | |||
Like in many parts of the country, abortion clinics in Arizona have faced severe pressure in recent years. According to a Guttmacher report, "There were 12 abortion-providing facilities in Arizona in 2014, and 9 of those were clinics. These numbers represent a 29% decline since 2011 in overall providers, and a a 40% decline in clinics from 2011, when there were 17 abortion providers overall, of which 15 were clinics."<ref>[https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/state-facts-about-abortion-arizona State Facts About Abortion: Arizona]</ref> | Like in many parts of the country, abortion clinics in Arizona have faced severe pressure in recent years.
