In Kyrgyzstan, abortion is legally available upon request<ref>[http://worldabortionlaws.com/map/ World Abortion Laws]</ref> in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. This means that people can obtain an abortion for any legal reason during the first trimester. After this period, abortions are legally permitted in certain circumstances. Between twelve and twenty-two weeks of pregnancy, abortion can be legally performed at the request of the patient, which may often be due to physical or economic reasons. Furthermore, an abortion is always legally available if the pregnancy endangers the life of the pregnant person.<ref>[https://www.womenonwaves.org/en/page/4843/abortion-law-kyrgyzstan Abortion law Kyrgyzstan]</ref> | |||
