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. Gestational limits vary. It is also permitted in case of fetal impairment or if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person's health, including physical health, or their life. For these cases, no limitation regarding the lengths of pregnancy is mentioned in the legal text.

Medical practitioners and providers have the right to refuse abortion services based on personal beliefs. So-called conscientious objection cannot be practiced if the life of the woman or pregnant person is at risk.
