TL;DR Summary

Abortion is legal in Guam up to 13 weeks of pregnancy, and later in certain cases, but the last doctor who performed abortions left Guam in 2018. The closest abortion clinic on American soil is in Hawaii, an eight-hour flight away. A pending court case could soon cut off access to abortion pills, the last way for most women on Guam to get legal abortions. Guam, a speck of land in the Pacific, stands out as a pure example of what life would be like under a near-total ban.
