Denmark, a country known for its relatively stricter abortion laws compared to many European nations, is considering revising its 50-year-old abortion legislation to grant women the option of terminating pregnancies at a more advanced stage.
In a significant move, the Nordic nation is poised to extend the existing 12-week limit to a potential 18-week timeframe. This development follows a crucial decision by Denmark’s ethics board, which voted in favor of this change on Tuesday. Representatives from the government have also expressed their support for the recommendation.
The proposed alteration to Denmark’s abortion laws would bring the country more in line with its European counterparts and could represent a significant step forward in women’s reproductive rights within the nation.
