It is permitted up to 22 weeks in cases of: incest, rape, economic and social reasons or if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person’s health or life. It is also permitted in cases of fetal impairment. For this case no limitation regarding the lengths of pregnancy is mentioned in the legal text.

Minors under the age of 16 are required to obtain parental consent for an abortion. Abortion seekers are required to go through mandatory counseling prior to abortion.
