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 10 weeks of pregnancy. Abortion is also permitted in cases of: rape, incest, 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 16 are required to obtain parental or adult consent for an abortion. A special commission is required for unmarried minors 16 years and older “if the abortion may cause serious consequences or the gestational age is more than 10 weeks” to make a decision and inform the parents. 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 inform their employer or supervisor about their decision, must inform the patient in a timely manner and refer individuals to another provider if they refuse service. So-called conscientious objection cannot be practiced if the life or health of the woman or pregnant person is at risk.
