In Austria, abortion is legally permitted and available upon request | In Austria, abortion is legally permitted and available upon request if it is performed before the 16th week of pregnancy (i.e. within three months of implantation). For an abortion to be legal, the pregnant person must first receive a consultation from a physician and receive blood tests. However, there is no required waiting period and the pregnant person does not need to give a reason for termination.<ref>[https://www.gynmed.at/en/abortion/austrian-law Legal regulation of abortion in Austria]</ref> The pregnant person may then receive an abortion in a public hospital. After three months of pregnancy, an abortion is permitted under certain circumstances, which include: if the pregnancy threatens the life or physical/mental health of the pregnant person, if there is serious risk of fetal impairment, or if the pregnant person is under fourteen years old.<ref>[https://www.loc.gov/law/help/abortion-legislation/abortion-legislation.pdf Abortion Legislation in Europe]</ref> | ||
