Abortion in Vermont is legal at all stages of pregnancy. A 2014 Pew Research Center poll showed 70% of adults in the state believed abortion should be legal in most or all cases, the second highest percentage in the country.[1] The state funds abortions deemed medically necessary for low-income women via Medicaid.[2]
In November 2022, voters overwhelmingly passed Proposal 5, the Reproductive Liberty Amendment, becoming the first U.S state to amend their constitution to explicitly include protections for abortion rights.[3][4][5]
