Number of abortions per 1,000 women: 8
Since 2000 the number of abortion has been on a sharp decline in Slovakia. Latest data show that there are 8 terminated pregnancies per 1,000 women. In Slovakia, abortion can be performed until the 12th week of pregnancy. However, before terminating pregnancy women must go through counseling. After 12th-week abortion can be legally performed only if mother’s life is at risk or if a fetus is severely harmed.
