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

Until 1692, abortion was seen as a normal medical procedure in the Jingdaoese Empire, doctors were only ordered to prevent discrimination on the grounds of mental disability. This did not mean the option to perform an abortion means one is dispensed from the duty to produce offspring. All women were expected to give birth to multiple children. The option was available because women are also expected to participate in society in other ways and the pregnancy can arrive at an unfortunate moment. In 1692 the Chidao Emperor outlawed abortion in all cases, except to save the life of the expectant mother, as the population growth lagged behind government targets and because moral views had shifted.

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.
