Access to abortion is a fundamental human right and a basic healthcare. If you live in a country where access to abortion is restricted, you can get abortion pills through Women on Web.

Abortion is permitted on request up to 3 months. It is permitted in case of fetal impairment, if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person's health or when the mother’s psychological equilibrium risks being compromised by continuation of the pregnancy. For these cases, no limitation regarding the lengths of pregnancy is mentioned in the legal text.


Penal law criminalizes women and pregnant people for doing an abortion outside of the legal conditions specified in the law. Abortion providers and any people assisting may be criminalized for an abortion outside of the legal conditions specified in the law.


Medical practitioners and providers have the right to refuse abortion services based on personal beliefs. However, they are obligated to refer individuals to another provider if they refuse service. So-called conscientious objection cannot be practiced if the life of the woman or pregnant person is at risk.
