1 Introduction Sweden's abortion law (from 1974) permits women to undergo an abortion, based upon their request, up to the 18th week of pregnancy. This right was extended to include non-Swedish women from 2008. Abortion beyond 18 weeks requires approval from the National Board of Health and Welfare's legal council and after 21 weeks+6 days, abortions are not permitted if the fetus is considered viable [1].
