Abortion has been legal in Taiwan since 1985. Abortion is legal for medical and psychological reasons, rape or incest, "seduction" (which includes but is not limited to statutory rape,) and to prevent psychological issues of a parent from being passed on to a child. Abortion is not a right for all women. Unmarried women under the age of 20 need parent permission to terminate a pregnancy. A married woman of any age need permission from her husband. A woman labeled as mentally handicapped needs permission from her guardian. Although abortion is not available on request in Taiwan, some doctors do not ask for proof that you meet the criteria for abortion. Furthermore, the definition of "seduction" or psychological distress is vague and easily applied to many circumstances. <ref>[https://www.angloinfo.com/how-to/taiwan/healthcare/pregnancy-birth/termination-abortion] Termination of Pregnancy and Abortion in Taiwan</ref> | Abortion has been legal in Taiwan since 1985.
