In Norway, abortion is fully legal and available upon request during the first trimester (first twelve weeks) of pregnancy. However, if the woman is under sixteen years old, her parents or guardians should be allowed to make a statement. Between twelve to eighteen weeks of pregnancy, abortion is legal if the pregnant woman's health or social situation makes the pregnancy difficult to continue, or if there is severe risk of fetal malformation, or if the woman became pregnant underage or as a result of abuse. After eighteen weeks, there are only extremely rare cases that are granted the legal permission to an abortion, which is reviewed on a case-to-case basis.<ref>[https://www.regjeringen.no/no/dokumenter/about-the-abortion-act/id419252/ Norwegian Government: About the Abortion Act]</ref> | In Norway, abortion is fully legal and available upon request during the first trimester (first twelve weeks) of pregnancy.
