In Kazakhstan, abortion is legally available upon request during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Furthermore, if the pregnancy endangers the life of the pregnant person, the abortion is permitted during any time period of the pregnancy.<ref name="womenwaves_abortionkazakhstan>[https://www.womenonwaves.org/en/page/5135/abortion-law-kazakhstan Women on Waves: Abortion law Kazakhstan]</ref> | |||
There are certain procedures and laws that determine how abortions should be performed. Generally speaking, it is required that the pregnant person consults with a doctor before the pregnancy, and there should be clinical laboratory tests. If the pregnant person is under 18 years old, parental consent is required. The abortion procedure can only be performed in a hospital that has a state license, an operative unit, or a department of intensive care. While medical and surgical abortions are both available, you will generally find "the abortion pill" at pharmacies much more often than in hospitals or clinics, according to sources.<ref name="womenwaves_abortionkazakhstan /> | |||
