Since 1973, abortion has been fully legal in Tunisia,[1] making the country one of the most progressive in terms of abortion policy in Africa. All reasons for an abortion are permitted, including to save the life of the woman, to preserve physical health, to preserve mental health, when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, risk of fetal impairment, economic/social reasons or simply upon request of the woman.[2] According to the Tunisian Penal Code, a woman does not need to justify her reason for obtaining an abortion.[3]
