Abortion in Slovenia

Abortion in Slovenia was legalized for the first time in January 1952 and in its current form in July 1977.[1]

Abortion is available on-demand without further conditions for women whose pregnancies have not exceeded 10 weeks. After the 10th week, it must be approved by a medical committee of the first or second level. From the 22nd week, it is termed stillbirth. The final limit for abortion is 28 weeks. For most women, abortion is free.[2][3]

Minors do not require parental consent before undergoing an abortion. Parents are usually notified unless the minor is already fully emancipated.[3][1]
