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 up to 22 weeks if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person’s physical or mental health or their life.

Minors under the age of 18 are required to obtain parental or adult consent for an abortion.
There is a mandatory waiting period of 48 hours after the first counseling by the health care professional before the abortion can be done.

Penal law criminalizes women and pregnant people for having 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..
