Abortion on request is not authorized. It is permitted up to 12 weeks if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person's mental or physical health or if the pregnancy is product of sexual violence, failure of a modern contraceptive method, if the woman is infected with HIV/AIDS or if the pregnancy is not wanted by a minor who is biologically, socially or psychologically unprepared. It is permitted up to 16 weeks in case of rape or incest and up to 24 weeks in case of fetal impairment. It is also permitted if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person's life. For this case no limitation regarding the lengths of pregnancy is mentioned in the legal text.


Minors under the age of 16 are required to obtain parental or adult consent for an abortion.
Abortion is covered by public insurance.
Penal law criminalizes women and pregnant people for doing an abortion outside of the legal conditions specified in the law. Abortion providers and any people assisting may be criminalized for an abortion outside of the legal conditions specified in the law.

However, medical practitioners and providers are obligated to refer individuals to another provider if they refuse service.
