Annotation:
The document provides a list of legal reforms
relating to abortion instituted in various
countries since the 1994 Programme of Action
of the International Conference on Population
and Development. The vast majority of the
legal reforms have broadened the
circumstances under which abortion is legal,
but there are some countries which have taken
steps to legally restrict access to abortion.
The article begins with the list of countries
that have liberalized their abortion laws
nation-wide, followed by the countries that
have liberalized their abortion laws in
particular regions only. Lastly, the document
lists countries that have issued regulations
to restrict access to abortion.
