| h English (en) | Historically, Sweden didn't always have such open policies, yet it allowed abortions before than many other European countries. While abortion and birth control were prohibited in 1910, Swedish law began to allow abortion under many circumstances by 1938. According to the Abortion Act of 1938, abortion was technically illegal yet could still be performed on many grounds. In 1946, the grounds for abortion were further broadened and, by the Swedish Abortion Law (1974), abortion became fully legal. Today, abortions can be performed in many health care facilities in Sweden. Since the Swedish Abortion Law, the teenage abortion rate has gone down while more women in their 20s have obtained abortions.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Sweden Abortion in Sweden]</ref> |
