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 also permitted in cases of: rape, incest, foetal impairment, economic and social reasons, young age or immaturity resulting in inability to care for the child in a proper way, sexual offences, fetal reduction (in case of a multiple pregnancy) or 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 under the age of 18 are required to obtain parental or adult consent for an abortion. Abortion is available free of charge through public health care system. 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. However, medical practitioners and providers are obligated to refer individuals to another provider if they refuse service.
