Abortion in Luxembourg was liberalized on 15 November 1978.[1] Before the end of 12 weeks after conception (14 weeks after the last menstrual period),[2] a woman who determines herself to be "in distress" can obtain an abortion after two consultations with a doctor, one medical and one psycho-social, and a waiting period of at least three days. An abortion at later stages can only be obtained when two doctors certify there is a danger to the mother or fetus. Under-age patients must be accompanied by a trusted adult to the meetings and the procedure itself.
