You have the right to decide freely whether and when to have children. This right includes the right to abortion, provided on time, with respect, and without obstacles. No one has the right to harm you or pressure you. Only you know best what to do and what your life situation calls for. However, women in Slovakia are forced to overcome many obstacles on the way to accessing abortion care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Practical information<\/h3><\/div>

In Slovakia, you can have an abortion on request or for medical reasons up until the 12th week of pregnancy<\/strong>. After that, it is only possible if the woman’s life is at risk, or if the fetus is not viable or has severe abnormalities.<\/p>\n

The start of pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period<\/strong>. So in practice, you have less than 12 weeks. You also need to factor in the mandatory 48-hour waiting period<\/strong> after consulting a doctor. This medically unjustified delay can mean you run out of time to have the abortion within the legal limit.<\/p>\n

Girls under 16 need the consent of a parent or legal guardian<\/strong>. For girls aged 16 to 18, the medical facility notifies the parents.<\/p>\n

A decree of the Slovak Ministry of Health sets a maximum price for abortion of \u20ac248.95<\/strong>. However, this limit is not always respected, and information about what is and isn’t included in the price is often lacking. Our research found that the average price, including additional fees, is \u20ac414<\/strong>. Costs were pushed up by, for example, fees for pre-operative examinations, filing an application, or a hospital bed-day. So it’s worth finding out the full cost in advance. If you don’t have enough money, we can advise you on possible ways to finance it.<\/p>\n

In Slovakia, only surgical abortion<\/strong> is currently available; medicated (pill-based) abortion is unavailable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Do you need information about where abortions are performed?<\/strong>
\nDo you need advice on how to find the money for an abortion?<\/strong>
\nDo you need advice about contraception?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

How to make an appointment and what to bring to the clinic<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

    \n
  • It’s important to book an appointment for the abortion and secure a date in advance.<\/li>\n
  • Some clinics, especially private ones, offer pre-operative examinations on site \u2014 ask about this.<\/li>\n
  • If the clinic or hospital doesn’t offer pre-operative examinations, try asking whether they have contacts for outpatient clinics where you can get one; this is usually done in the internal medicine departments of hospitals.<\/li>\n
  • If they can’t give you any contacts, reach out to your general practitioner or gynecologist.<\/li>\n
  • Once you have all the necessary pre-operative examinations (if they aren’t done at the clinic itself), book a date for the procedure.<\/li>\n
  • Slovakia has a mandatory 48-hour waiting period, so you’ll need to visit the hospital or clinic twice. The first visit is to sign informed consent for the procedure, which medical staff will submit to the National Health Information Center. The 48-hour waiting period then starts counting down. The second visit is when the abortion itself takes place.<\/li>\n
  • Medical staff will tell you what to do before the procedure; usually you’ll need to avoid eating or drinking for 6 hours beforehand.<\/li>\n
  • If you regularly take medication, bring it with you and show it to the medical staff.<\/li>\n
  • Medical staff will tell you exactly what to bring, but it’s generally a good idea to have pajamas, slippers, and postpartum pads with you.<\/li>\n
  • In Slovakia, only surgical abortion under general anesthesia is currently performed. After anesthesia, you may feel groggy, and nausea is possible, so it’s usually recommended that you go home with someone accompanying you and avoid driving after the procedure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>

    \u2705 Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures<\/strong> when performed correctly: by trained personnel, using appropriate medical techniques and medications, and under hygienic conditions.<\/p>\n

    \u2705 Most women who undergo a professionally performed abortion experience no long-term health consequences<\/strong>, including for their reproductive health.<\/p>\n

    \u2705 Abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \u2705 An abortion that occurs without complications does not reduce your chances of becoming pregnant in the future<\/strong>. There is no proven link between abortion and subsequent infertility.<\/p>\n

    \u2705 Abortion does not cause serious mental health problems<\/strong>. Negative psychological effects occur only in a very small number of women and are mostly a continuation of pre-existing mental health difficulties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14537","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nAbortion in Slovakia -
