Abortion in Hungary

Abortion is legally accepted in Hungary starting in 1953, with the most recent change to abortion laws being Act LXXIX of 1992 on the protection of fetal life.^[1]^[2] Under the current laws, abortions may be performed up to 12 weeks but may be extended up to 24 weeks in certain circumstances.

Access to abortion requires the woman to obtain a certificate from a gynecologist confirming the pregnancy then seek counseling from a midwife at the Family Protection Service at least twice and wait 72 hours before the procedure may be performed.^[3]
