In Romania, according to the Penal Code, abortion is legal upon request during the first 14 weeks of pregnancy. After fourteen weeks of pregnancy, abortion is permitted if there is a medical/therapeutic reason for the abortion. While the majority of such abortions are performed within the first 24 weeks of pregnancy, the law allows for abortions to be performed even after 24 weeks for therapeutic reasons "in the interest of the mother or the fetus." For an abortion to be legal, it must be performed at a medical institution by a licensed physician.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Romania Abortion in Romania]</ref> | In Romania, according to the Penal Code, abortion is legal upon request during the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.
