The Law Library of Congress is proud to present a new report, Abortion Legislation in Europe.

This report summarizing laws on abortion in selected European countries shows diverse approaches to the regulation of abortion in Europe. A majority of the surveyed countries allow abortion upon the woman's request in the early weeks of pregnancy, and allow abortion under specified circumstances in later periods. A comparative summary with maps is included.
