In Hungary only surgical abortion is available. Medical abortion, which is accessible in Ukraine, is not an option here.
Abortion can be performed until 12 weeks of pregnancy(18 weeks of gestation under the age of 181), in the following cases:
- the pregnancy is the result of violence,
- if the pregnancy is endangering the health of the mother, or
- the foetus is likely to have serious disability or impairment.
These are determined by healthcare providers and abortion care is free of charge. Pregnancy can be terminated until week 12 of pregnancy also if the woman is in a serious crisis. This does not need to be certified by a healthcare provider or any professional.
If a woman considers that having a child would cause a serious crisis in her life, she can decide to terminate her pregnancy herself.
In this case, you will have to attend two counseling sessions at the Family Protection Service and, in some cases, you will have to pay a fee for the abortion.
