Termination of Pregnancy (Abortion) in Portugal

Information on who to contact and how to proceed in the event of an unwanted pregnancy. Also information on family planning clinics.

As a result of a referendum held early in 2007, abortion on demand is now legal in Portugal up until the tenth week of pregnancy. 

In the following cases the procedure must take place further in the gestation period:

  • 12 weeks: when the pregnancy poses a risk to the woman's life or mental health
  • 16 weeks: when the pregnancy has resulted from rape or a sexual crime
  • 24 weeks: In case of incurable disease or malformation of the fœtus
Family Planning

The Portuguese Family Planning Association (Associação para o Planeamento da Família, APF) has helplines for pregnant women.

  • SOS Pregnancy - Tel: 707 200 249 (in Portuguese)
