Abortion law in the Netherlands
Abortion is allowed in the Netherlands up to the 24th week of pregnancy. In practice, doctors assume 22 weeks, because they can accurately determine the duration of pregnancy up to two weeks. After that, abortion can only take place for very serious medical reasons.
Currently, there is still a mandatory cool-down period, but there is a good chance that it will be lifted soon. The majority in the House of Representatives supported the bill that will remove this mandatory waiting period.

A pregnancy can be terminated with the abortion pill or surgery. Currently, only abortion clinics are allowed to dispense abortion pills, but some GPs want to be able to do that themselves.
If it belongs in the House of Representatives, it will happen soon. The majority recently supported a bill that makes this possible. This is the second abortion rule change in a short time.
