Czech Republic

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 12 weeks of pregnancy. It is permitted up to 24 weeks of pregnancy in cases of: Fetal impairment, rape or if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person’s health or life. Abortion is also permitted in cases of incest, intrauterine contraceptive failure or an age below 15 or above 40 years old. For these cases no limitation regarding the lengths of pregnancy is specified.

Minors under the age of 16 are required to obtain parental or adult consent for an abortion. Women and persons are required to pay for abortion on request themselves. Women and persons temporarily staying in the Czech Republic need to pay for abortion services (with some exceptions) as well.

Abortion providers and any persons assisting may be criminalized for an abortion outside of the legal conditions specified in the law. A pregnant woman who interrupts her pregnancy herself, or who asks or asks another person to interrupt it, shall not be liable to punishment for such act.

Medical practitioners and providers have the right to refuse abortion services based on personal beliefs. However, medical practitioners and providers are obligated to refer individuals (with their consent) to another provider if they refuse service.
