Abortion in Albania
Abortion in Albania is a topic that encompasses the history, legality, and societal views of abortion in the country of Albania.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of abortion in Albania is marked by significant changes in legislation and societal attitudes. During the Communist era, abortions were highly restricted and only permitted in cases where the mother's life was at risk. However, with the fall of the Communist regime in 1992, the laws surrounding abortion were liberalized.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
Abortion in Albania is currently legal on request during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. After the first trimester, abortions are permitted only when the pregnancy poses a risk to the woman's health, or in cases of fetal abnormalities. The law also requires that all abortions be performed by a licensed physician in a medical institution.
Societal Views[edit | edit source]
Societal views on abortion in Albania are diverse, with attitudes influenced by factors such as religion, education, and personal beliefs. While some segments of the population are strongly opposed to abortion, others support a woman's right to choose.
Access and Availability[edit | edit source]
Access to safe and legal abortion services in Albania can be influenced by a variety of factors, including geographic location, socioeconomic status, and the availability of healthcare providers. Despite the legality of abortion, barriers to access remain, particularly for women living in rural areas or those with limited financial resources.
