Abortion in Greece
Appearance
Abortion in Greece has been fully legalized since January 27, 1984.[1] Abortions can be performed on-demand in hospitals for women whose pregnancies have not exceeded twelve weeks.[2] In the case of rape or incest, an abortion can occur as late as nineteen weeks, and as late as twenty-four weeks in the case of fetal abnormalities.[2] Girls under the age of 18 must get written permission from a parent or guardian before being allowed an abortion.[2]
As of 2007[update], the abortion rate was 7.2 abortions per 1000 women aged 15-44 years.[3]
