* If you're a citizen or legal resident of Hungary, you can legally obtain an abortion (for any reason) for up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, you must go through some steps before obtaining the abortion. Here are the steps: You must visit a gynecologist to receive a note that confirms the age of the pregnancy. Then, you'll need to visit a social worker at a district Family Planning/Welfare office (Családvédelmi Szolgálat). You should bring the note from the gynecologist, a picture ID and your identification papers/permit). The social worker may give you information on state support and adoption options. Then, you must visit the office again at least 72 hours (3 days) after the first appointment. In total, you must visit the social worker twice. Once you have completed these steps, you can make an appointment for the abortion procedure at a hospital. You should bring the note from the gynecologist, the referral from the Family Planning/Welfare office, your picture ID and any identification/residency papers.<ref>[http://www.rekamorvay.com/2013/01/having-an-abortion-in-hungary/ Having an Abortion in Hungary]</ref> | * If you're a citizen or legal resident of Hungary, you can legally obtain an abortion (for any reason) for up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.

* We know that surgical abortion (vacuum aspiration) is available in Hungary, and you can choose between local or general anesthesia. As of 2013, medical abortion ("the abortion pill") was not a registered option, but we're not sure if this has changed.<ref>[http://www.rekamorvay.com/2013/01/having-an-abortion-in-hungary/ Having an Abortion in Hungary]</ref> <ref>[https://www.angloinfo.com/how-to/hungary/healthcare/pregnancy-birth/termination-abortion Termination of Pregnancy and Abortion in Hungary]</ref> | |||
