Abortion is legal but not accessible, university study shows
Almost 10 percent of gynecology units at Turkish public hospitals do not offer abortion services, while some 78 percent provide the operation only if it is a life-threatening situation, research prepared by the Istanbul-based Kadir Has University has revealed.
It concluded that although abortions are legal, they are not very accessible in the country.
