Danmarks regering höjer abortgränsen från tolv till 18 veckor, meddelar danska inrikes- och hälsodepartementet.

Det är första gången på 50 år som stora förändringar i den danska abortlagen genomförs.

Sedan 1973 tillåts fri abort fram till vecka tolv för kvinnor över 18 år, därefter krävs ett speciellt tillstånd från ett abortsamråd.

I september 2023 föreslog Danmarks etiska råd att gränsen skulle höjas, med hänvisning till att Danmark har en av de mest restriktiva abortlagarna i Västeuropa.

Enligt inrikes- och hälsominister Sophie Løhde, som tillhör partiet Venstre, är det på tiden.

“Det finns inga hälsoeffekter som talar för den nuvarande veckogränsen och det finns inte heller något som tyder på att en förskjutning av veckogränsen skulle leda till betydligt fler eller senare aborter”, säger hon i ett uttalande.

Utöver regeringspartierna ingår Socialistisk Folkeparti (SF), Enhedslisten, De Radikale och Alternativet i överenskommelsen.

Lagförslaget kommer att läggas fram under nästa år och beräknas träda i kraft den 1 juni 2025, enligt uttalandet.
