Number of abortions per 1,000 women: 8
Abortion in the Netherlands, which also occupies third place on our list of 10 countries with lowest abortion rates in the world in 2018, can be performed until the fetus becomes viable. In theory, it means that pregnancy can be terminated until the 24th week. However in practice abortion are rarely allowed after 22nd week. Abortion became legal in the Netherlands in 1984.
