Denmark raises abortion limit to 18 weeks and allows 15-17 year-olds to decide without consent, effective mid-2025.
Denmark will increase its abortion limit from 12 to 18 weeks, and allow 15-17 year-olds to make the decision without parental consent or approval by a specialist commission. The amendment to the law is set to take effect in mid-2025 and maintains Denmark's progressive stance on reproductive rights. The country was one of the first Western European nations to grant women the right to self-determined abortion in 1973.
