A termination at the woman's request

Voluntary termination of pregnancy is a medical procedure that ends a pregnancy within the framework established by law. It can be performed using different methods, depending on the situation and the medical and legal conditions.

A constitutionally guaranteed freedom

The French Constitution guarantees women's freedom to have an abortion. The law determines the conditions under which this freedom is exercised, including time limits and arrangements for care. For advice about a personal situation, you should contact a healthcare professional or an appropriate information service.

Distinct concepts

Abortion ends a pregnancy. Assisted reproduction helps people conceive a child, while surrogacy means carrying a child for someone else. Their objectives and legal frameworks are different.
