Abstract

An analysis of abortion law reform in all regions of the world in the past 20 years shows that countries have turned from a concentration upon criminality to a concern with women's health and family well-being. Pragmatic approaches to achieve liberalization of abortion laws are described. Where legal reform is unlikely, specification of professional medical standards, clarification of laws and the scope of allowable action, as well as supportive statements by government officials, can facilitate services and may ultimately have a positive influence on legal reform.

摘要

对过去20年世界所有地区堕胎法改革的分析表明，各国已从专注于将堕胎定为犯罪转向关注妇女健康和家庭福祉。文中描述了实现堕胎法自由化的务实方法。在不太可能进行法律改革的地方，明确专业医疗标准、澄清法律及可允许行动的范围，以及政府官员的支持性声明，可促进相关服务，最终可能对法律改革产生积极影响。
