The decision to terminate a pregnancy is not one that is taken lightly. The need for an abortion reflects limited sexual autonomy, ineffective or lack of access to contraceptive options, or a health indication. Abortion is protected under human rights law. That notwithstanding, access to abortions continues to be contested in many parts of the world, with vested interests from politically and religiously conservative states, patriarchal societies, and cultural mores, not just within local contexts but also within a broader geopolitical context. Criminalization of a women's choice not to carry a pregnancy is a significant driver of unsafe procedures, and even where abortions are provided legally, the policies remain constrained by the practice or by a lack of coherence. This review outlines the trends in abortion policy in low- and middle-income countries and highlights priority areas to ensure that women are safe and able to exercise their reproductive rights.

中低收入国家的堕胎政策趋势

终止妊娠的决定不是一个轻率的决定。需要堕胎反映出性自主能力有限,无效或无法获得避孕手段或健康状况。堕胎受人权法保护。尽管如此,在世界许多地方,堕胎的机会仍然存在争议,政治和宗教保守国家,重男轻女的社会以及文化习俗的既得利益,不仅在当地范围内,而且在更广泛的地缘政治范围内。将妇女选择不怀孕定为刑事犯罪是不安全程序的重要驱动因素,即使在合法地提供堕胎的情况下,政策仍然受到惯例或缺乏连贯性的限制。
