Abortion in Romania is currently legal as an elective procedure during the first 14 weeks of pregnancy, and for medical reasons at later stages of pregnancy.[1] In the year 2004, there were 216,261 live births and 191,000 reported abortions,[2] meaning that 46% of the 407,261 reported pregnancies that year ended in abortion.
Abortion was also legal on-demand in Romania from 1957 to 1966.[3] From 1967 to 1990 abortion was severely restricted, in an effort of the Communist leadership to increase the fertility rate of the country; however this resulted in rising mortality rates and a surge in Orphans. After the Romanian Revolution abortion laws were loosened.
