← 🇧🇪 Chambre des représentants/PROPOSITION DE LOIbe-56-0270

Proposition de loi visant à dépénaliser l'interruption volontaire de grossesse et à assouplir les conditions pour y recourir.

Stage en_commissionUpdated 3mo ago

This is a private member's bill tabled in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives. It proposes to decriminalise voluntary termination of pregnancy and to relax the legal conditions under which a woman can access an abortion. Based on the title alone, it would move the procedure further from the criminal code and reduce restrictions on eligibility. Abortion policy in Belgium is a long-standing and sensitive political issue, so proposals like this typically draw strong debate. The bill would mainly affect women seeking an abortion in Belgium, as well as doctors and healthcare providers who carry out or refer for the procedure. Its exact changes to waiting periods, consultation requirements and criminal penalties cannot be confirmed from the metadata alone.
