Which Countries Have the Strictest Abortion Laws?

January 4, 2023 by Annie

The global debate surrounding abortion regulations is contentious, with countries often taking drastically different stances on the matter. As the laws regarding abortion are constantly evolving, it’s important to have an understanding of which countries have the strictest regulations when it comes to terminating pregnancies.

This article will provide an overview of some of the most restrictive policies in place worldwide, as well as a brief discussion on why certain jurisdictions take such hard lines regarding reproductive rights.

Generally, more conservative or religious countries tend to have stricter laws and regulations about abortions. For example, many Middle Eastern countries prohibit all forms of abortion except in cases where there is a direct threat to the mother’s life.

With the recent changes in the laws in the US, America is also becoming a country with overall very strict laws on abortion.

Where To Go To Get Help

When deciding on abortion, access to important, safe information and resources can be a deciding factor for many individuals. Knowing where to turn for support and guidance is essential in understanding the laws around the world. Many countries have very strict abortion laws, but there are also places where women can find help if they need assistance navigating these complex regulations.

One of the best places individuals can go to get help understanding their rights and options regarding abortion is Women on Web (WoW). This international organization provides support and information regarding reproductive health and women’s rights across various countries with differing legal frameworks. WoW helps connect people with legal advisors who can provide advice and direction within their particular jurisdiction.

You should also consider speaking to clinics in your country if your country allows abortion. For example, a search for ‘abortion clinic Sydney‘ or similar will ensure you get good results that are tailored to your needs.

Strict Country Breakdown

The majority of countries in Europe, including Ireland, Poland, and Italy, impose restrictions on when abortions can be performed and under what circumstances. Across much of Africa, Latin America, and some parts of Asia, abortion is banned outright with very few exceptions.

At the same time, many countries such as Canada and most of Western Europe allow abortions without restriction during the first trimester of pregnancy or later, depending on certain factors like potential health risks to the mother or fetal abnormalities.

Let’s take a deeper look:

  • Jamaica – In Jamaican law, women who get abortions could be sentenced to life in prison. Anyone who assists a woman to get an abortion or provides information about an abortion may face up to three years in prison.
  • El Salvador – El Salvador previously permitted abortion in certain cases, but in 1998, the procedure was prohibited in the entire Central American country.
  • Egypt – Islamic teachings dictate Egypt’s law, and abortion is prohibited except in very strict cases where the pregnant woman is at risk.
  • Madagascar – Abortion is prohibited in Madagascar without exception, including rape, incest, or a mother’s life being endangered. Nifin’Akanga, a Malagasy pro-choice advocacy group, has been working toward legalizing all abortions.
