↑The UN source shows East Timor as allowing abortion also in case of risk to the woman's health or fetal impairment, citing the penal code enacted in March 2009 and entered into force in June 2009.[152][153] However, the penal code was amended in July 2009 to restrict abortion only to save the woman's life.[154][153][155]
↑This ground is explicitly mentioned in the law only in case of rape of a woman with a mental disability, but it is also established by judicial decision in case of rape of any woman.[156]
123Abortion is permitted if the woman is under age 18.
123If the woman is under age 15 or over age 45, the gestational limit is 22 weeks.
↑Permitted up to 28 weeks of gestation if the woman is unfit to raise the child due to a physical or mental disability or for being under age 18. The penalty for abortion may be mitigated in case of extreme poverty.[164][165]
123Defined as 14 weeks of pregnancy, considered as 16 weeks from the last menstrual period.[172]
↑The penal code says that abortion may be permitted to an underage woman in a state of grave distress up to 10 weeks.
123The criminal code specifies that abortion is not deemed an offence if the woman requests it, she has obtained counselling, and it is done by a physician within 12 weeks from conception. (Also, the woman is not punished for an abortion within 22 weeks if the other conditions are fulfilled.) The woman's living conditions are also taken into account in the indication of a serious risk to her health.[179][180]
12If the woman is a minor or incapable of resisting, the gestational limit is 19 weeks.
↑This ground is not explicitly mentioned in the law.[242] The UN source says that it is accepted as a general legal principle,[48] but other sources say that abortion is not legally allowed under any circumstance in Madagascar.[243][244]
↑The law of Maldives is a combination of statutory and Islamic law.[247] The Maldivian penal code criminalizes abortion after 120 days of gestation, except for risk to the woman's life.[248] The Maldivian Islamic jurisprudence allows abortion only for risk to the woman's life, without gestational limit, or in cases of rape, incest, or certain medical conditions of a fetus conceived in marriage, up to 120 days of gestation.[249][250]
↑Only for certain medical conditions of a fetus conceived in marriage.[249][250]
12The penal code prohibits abortion without any explicit exception,[254] but the UN source says that abortion to save the woman's life is permitted as a general legal principle.[48] The law on child protection prohibits abortion except for a "proven medical need",[255] and the law on reproductive health prohibits abortion except in case of risk to the woman's life.[256] The government has stated that the law of the country permits abortion on therapeutic grounds.[257]
↑Abortion for this ground is permitted by law in all subdivisions except Guanajuato and Querétaro. In these two states, people who violate it may be prosecuted but not imprisoned, and they may request judicial relief by amparo.[45][46][259]

However, Sufan, the shelter director in Nablus, said, 'it is difficult, the mufti [religious jurist], hospital, and court all have to agree to allow the abortion.' Salhieh, the chief prosecutor, said that prosecutors obtained permission for seven women to have abortions in 2017, all in cases in which the women alleged that the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest and they were in the early stages of pregnancy."

↑Report to His Majesty the King from the Minister Keeper of the Seals (Zanardelli) at the hearing of 30 June 1889 for the approval of the final text of the penal code, pp. 145–146. "On the agreed proposal of the parliamentary commissions, the provision that was read in the bill, according to which it was declared 'not punishable the doctor or surgeon, when he justifies having acted in order to save the woman's life, endangered by the pregnancy or by childbirth', was deleted"; "The vote expressed in agreement in parliament led me to the aforesaid deletion, not to exclude the application of the concept that was expressed there, but because it was superfluous and inappropriate to declare it, providing if needed article 49 number 3, the application of which would be only, and without reason, restricted." (in Italian)
↑Criminal abortion in the Italian penal code, Pasquale Tuozzi, Filippo Serafini Legal Archive, 1902, vol. 10, no. 3, p. 29. "However, if you want to search for a provision in our code that covers the surgeon, in addition to article 45, in which the aforesaid reason is rooted, there is also number 3 of article 49, where it is declared the nonresponsibility of one who acts compelled by the need to save himself or others from a serious and imminent danger to the person, to which he did not voluntarily give cause, and which he could not otherwise avoid. Well, these extremes of the state of necessity all apply in the case of the surgeon, who, put in the harsh condition, not created by him, extinguishes an imperfect and perhaps uncertain existence, to save a certain and real existence, which is that of the woman in childbirth."
