Florida

Florida enforces a 6-week gestational limit with specific exceptions, substantially narrowing the window for in-state care. Maternal mortality is near or above national averages, with wide regional and racial disparities. The state has not expanded Medicaid, leaving many patients with coverage gaps during pregnancy and postpartum. Clinic capacity is uneven, and patients frequently face timing hurdles given the short legal limit. Consequently, many residents seek care via interstate travel or rely on time-sensitive telehealth options where permissible.
