Abstract

This chapter provides a detailed examination of abortion-related reproductive health laws within the European Union, focusing on their historical development, current legal frameworks, and the socio-economic factors that influence access to abortion services. It explores the diverse range of abortion laws across EU member states, highlighting the contrast between liberal approaches in countries such as Sweden and France and restrictive policies in nations like Poland and Hungary. The chapter also considers the impact of judicial interventions on shaping these laws and the broader implications for reproductive rights. Through this comprehensive analysis, the chapter aims to shed light on the complexities of abortion law within the EU and its relevance to women's reproductive health.
