Summary
Compassionate, non-judgemental abortion care should be provided to women seeking to end a pregnancy at the earliest gestation as possible and as late as necessary. Laws that prohibit abortion do not prevent abortion, but merely result in more unsafe abortions [1]. The legal requirements to access abortion vary significantly across Europe, and it is important for clinicians to be aware of their own country’s regulations but also those of their close neighbours, as it is common for women who live in areas of greater restriction to travel to nearby countries with less restrictive legislation.
