Abortion in Alduria
Abortion in Alduria is mainly regulated by Order 11 of the Transitional Government of the Republic, issued by President Alejandro Campos in 1670 AN. The Democratic Socialist Party has proposed legislation in the past in the Aldurian Parliament to further liberalize abortion in Alduria. The efforts have never been brought to the floor of Parliament for consideration.
Abortion in Calbion
Though a strictly traditional nation, Calbion has a pragmatic approach to abortion. Although the Calbain Catologian Church has no history of being actively against abortion, there is a strong traditional focus on families to progenerate. Advancing the Calbain people is perceived as a duty. These values clash with the idea of abortion, especially that of abortion on demand, which may be used as an alternative for contraception. However, the Calbain government realises that this is a multi-faceted issue and allows abortion up to 12 weeks for most reasons.
Abortion in Elwynn
Elwynn allows abortion on request until the fetus's heart begins beating. Thereafter, it may be granted only on medical grounds. The definition of medical grounds differs slightly during which week of gestation the pregnancy is in. In the earlier weeks following fetal heartbeat, the definition is broad and usually includes a conviction that one would be a bad parent or , with more stricter medical definitions later during the pregnancy (for example, when the mother is 8 to 9 months pregnant, it must be when the mother's health is critically endangered
Abortion in Jingdao
Abortion is seen as a normal medical procedure in the Jingdaoese Empire, doctors are only ordered to prevent discrimination on the grounds of mental disability. This does not mean the option to perform an abortion means one is dispensed from the duty to produce offspring. All women are expected to give birth to multiple children. The option is available because women are also expected to participate in society in other ways and the pregnancy can arrive at an unfortunate moment.
Abortion in Krasnocoria
Abortion is generally seen as a murder of innocent souls and a mortal sin in Krasnocoria, by both the populace (76% of the population opposes abortion legalization) and the government. This is due to the strict religious moral culture of Krasnocoria's people, with belief in tradition and Nazarene/Umrah moral teachings spanning through most religious groups, and even the unaffiliated. There are two exceptions to Krasnocoria's abortion laws. The first is, in the case of a situation in which the deaths of both woman and child will result if no operation is performed, an abortion operation is allowed to be used in lifesaving procedures to save the woman. The second is rape, where the soul of the child is considered to have been created in an unholy manner, and the woman did not consent to the impregnation - thus making her carry a burden she did not ask for, to produce a child that is very likely to have antisocial personality disorder. In this case, abortion of the fetus before 10 weeks of pregnancy is permitted.
Abortion in Sanama
Due to the federal structure of Sanama, abortion is regulated on the provincial level. While all provinces allow abortion if the mother's life is in danger and in cases of rape or incest, the laws vary on other abortion rights. Several cases has made it through the federal court system, but the Federal Constitutional Judex has so far not struck down any laws restricting abortion except for those three caveats.
