Abortion is permitted on request up to 14 weeks of pregnancy. It is also permitted in case of fetal impairment or if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person’s health or life. For these cases no limitation regarding the lengths of pregnancy is mentioned in the legal text.

Minors under the age of 18 are required to obtain parental, guardian or adult consent for an abortion.
There is a mandatory waiting period of 3 days after the consultation with the gynecologist in place before the abortion can be done.
