In Japan, abortion is legal for up to 24 weeks of gestation.[1] The reasons for permitted abortions include: to save the life of the woman, to preserve physical health, economic or social reasons, rape or incest. In all other cases, including preservation of the woman's mental health, risk of fetal impairment, or by request, are not permitted. For an abortion to be performed, consent must be given by the pregnant woman and her partner. The procedure must occur in a designated clinic.
