Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania permits abortion to 24 weeks with health and life exceptions afterward, and a gubernatorial backstop has prevented new limits. Maternal outcomes align with national averages but display significant disparities in certain regions. Medicaid expansion supports coverage, and major metro centers anchor high-risk perinatal services. Rural counties face longer drives and fewer specialists, extending wait times for complex care. Legal status is stable, with geography and workforce shaping practical access.
