Lithuania

Access to abortion is a fundamental human right and a basic healthcare. If you live in a country where access to abortion is restricted, you can get abortion pills through Women on Web.

Abortion is permitted on request up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. It is also permitted in case of intellectual or cognitive disability of the woman, if the pregnancy endangers the woman or person’s health or life, in cases of female physiological immaturity (13 years and younger), late reproductive age (49 years and older) or listed congenital and chromosomal anomalies. For these cases no limitation regarding the lengths of pregnancy is mentioned in the legal text.

Minors under the age of 16 are required to obtain parental or adult consent for an abortion. Contraindicated pregnancy termination operations are performed free of charge, otherwise they are paid at rates set by the Ministry of Health.

Abortion providers and any people assisting may be criminalized for an abortion outside of the legal conditions specified in the law.
Lithuania is a country that explicitly bans conscientious objection. Medical practitioners and providers do not have the right to refuse abortion services based on personal beliefs.
