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 22 weeks of pregnancy for economic or social reasons, in cases of fetal impairment, rape, incest, intellectual or cognitive disability of the woman or if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person’s mental or physical health. It is also permitted if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person’s integral health or their life. For these cases, no limitation regarding the lengths of pregnancy is mentioned in the legal text.

Abortion is available free of charge through the public health care system.

Abortion providers may be criminalized for an abortion outside of the legal conditions specified in the law. Women or pregnant persons shall not be criminalized over abortion.
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.
