Abortion in Bhutan
Abortion in Bhutan is only legal when the abortion is a result of rape, incest, to preserve the woman's mental health, or to save her life.[1]
Impact
Since abortions are difficult for women to obtain in Bhutan, they often cross the border into India, where they get abortions in unsafe conditions.[1] The danger and resulting fatalities has led many people to push for the legalization and decriminalization of abortion for Bhutanese women.[2]
