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 on request is not authorized. It is permitted in case of fetal impairment, rape, incest, if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person’s physical or mental health or their life, if the woman is under the age of marriage (17 years old) or older than 40 years, if the pregnancy is the result of extramarital relations, to prevent grave irreparable injury to the woman or if the pregnancy was interrupted in the course of other medical treatment of the woman's body and the pregnancy was not previously known to the physician and its interruption was necessary for that medical treatment. No limitation regarding the lengths of pregnancy is mentioned in the legal text.

Abortion is available free of charge through public health care system as it is included in the Health Basket for all women up to the age of 33 or if the pregnancy that arises from relations that are forbidden by criminal law as the result of rape or incest, a situation in which the fetus is liable to have a physical or mental abnormality or a situation in which continuation of the pregnancy is liable to endanger the woman’s life or cause her physical or emotional damage.

Abortion providers may be criminalized for an abortion outside of the legal conditions specified in the law.
