Since 1973, abortion has been fully legal in Tunisia,<ref>[http://www.tunisia-live.net/2014/07/27/abortion-in-tunisia-a-shifting-landscape/ Abortion in Tunisia: A Shifting Landscape]</ref> 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.<ref>[http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/abortion/profiles.htm UN Report: Abortion in Tunisia]</ref> According to the Tunisian Penal Code, a woman does not need to justify her reason for obtaining an abortion.<ref>[http://www.tunisia-live.net/2014/07/27/abortion-in-tunisia-a-shifting-landscape/ Abortion in Tunisia: A Shifting Landscape]</ref>  
Depuis 1973, l'avortement est totalement légal en Tunisie<ref>[http://www.tunisia-live.net/2014/07/27/abortion-in-tunisia-a-shifting-landscape/ Abortion in Tunisia: A Shifting Landscape]</ref>, faisant du pays l'un des plus progressistes en terme de politique d'avortement en Afrique. Toutes les raisons pour avorter sont permises, parmi lesquelles pour sauver la vie de la mère, pour préserver la santé physique et mentale, lorsque la grossesse résulte d'inceste ou d'un viol, risque de malformation du foetus, des raisons sociales ou économiques, ou simplement sur simple demande de la femme concernée.<ref>[http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/abortion/profiles.htm UN Report: Abortion in Tunisia]</ref> Selon le Code Pénal tunisien, une femme n'a pas besoin de justifier la raison pour laquelle elle souhaite avorter.<ref>[http://www.tunisia-live.net/2014/07/27/abortion-in-tunisia-a-shifting-landscape/ Abortion in Tunisia: A Shifting Landscape]</ref>  


However, there are some restrictions. The abortion must be performed in the first trimester of pregnancy by a licensed physician in a hospital, authorized clinic or other health care establishment.<ref>[http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/abortion/profiles.htm UN Report: Abortion in Tunisia]</ref> Furthermore, according to a 2014 article published by Tunisia Live, there have been cases of young women and girls being discouraged from obtaining abortions at some hospitals. In some cases, medical personnel have even denied access to abortion services, citing the medical conscience clause (which allows doctors to refuse services that go against their personal beliefs). Counseling phone lines have also received calls from women who were denied abortion services.<ref>[http://www.tunisia-live.net/2014/07/27/abortion-in-tunisia-a-shifting-landscape/ Abortion in Tunisia: A Shifting Landscape]</ref> It should be stressed that these cases are not incredibly common, but it's useful for people to know that this does exist in Tunisia.
