Can I seek abortion if there is a threat to my physical health or mental health?
A pregnant person can seek abortion if continuing the pregnancy will be harmful to their physical or mental health. Up to 20 weeks of gestation, the opinion of one Registered Medical Practitioner (RMP) is required. Between 20 to 24 weeks, the opinion of two RMPs is required. [See: Note 1]

When the Registered Medical Practitioners are making their assessment, they must consider the pregnant woman’s "actual or reasonably foreseeable environment".
