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 19 weeks of pregnancy in cases of rape, incest, if the pregnant person was a minor during intercourse or uncapable of resisting. It is permitted up to 24 weeks of pregnancy in cases of foetal impairment. Abortion is also permitted if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person’s physical health, mental health or life. For these cases no limitation regarding the lengths of pregnancy is mentioned in the legal text.

Minors are required to obtain parental or adult consent for an abortion. Abortion is available free of charge through the public health care system. Penal law criminalizes women and pregnant people for doing an abortion outside of the legal conditions specified in the law. Also abortion providers and any persons 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. So-called conscientious objection cannot be practiced if the life of the woman or pregnant person is at risk or there is the risk of permanent harm.
