Abortion in Cyprus
Abortion in Cyprus can since 2018 be performed on request up until the 12th week of pregnancy and until the 19th week in rape cases.[1] It was previously performed only if there was a risk of physical or mental harm to the mother, a risk of fetal deformity, or if the patient was raped or otherwise sexually assaulted.[2][3]
While there is no specific guideline limiting when an abortion is permitted under Cypriot law, in practice no abortions are performed after the 28th week.
