The passage of a liberalized abortion law is one of many changes that must take place if women are to gain access to safe and legal services. A study of the process following legal reforms in six settings in Asia, Africa and Latin America confirms that the practical work of establishing safe abortion services can take years and requires resources and commitment. Where these efforts have been undertaken and information on trends in abortion-related illness and death is available, evidence is beginning to demonstrate that liberalized laws are followed by improved health outcomes for women.
如果妇女要获得安全合法的堕胎服务，那么通过一项自由化的堕胎法只是必须进行的众多变革之一。一项针对亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲六个地区法律改革后的进程研究证实，建立安全堕胎服务的实际工作可能需要数年时间，并且需要资源和投入。在已经开展这些工作且有堕胎相关疾病和死亡趋势信息的地方，有证据开始表明，自由化的法律之后是妇女健康状况的改善。
