Termination of Pregnancy/Abortion in France

Send | Print

The French family planning organisation (Planning Familial) is responsible for providing information on contraception, abortion (avortement), sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS (SIDA). The website (in French) is comprehensive and provides information relevant to all regions of France: Planning Familial website

Termination of pregnancy (IVG) is legal in France up to 12-weeks after conception. There is one week period of compulsory "reflection" prior to termination, except in an urgent case where this can be reduced to two days.

Minors (girls under 18) and unmarried women must meet with a counsellor during the week prior to the process and in the days immediately after.

Minors do not need parental consent, however they must be accompanied by and adult (person over 18 years) throughout the procedure. Single women do not need to provide the agreement of the partner. A non-resident visitor to France may legally have a pregnancy terminated while in France.

Further Information

Contact information for the hospitals and clinics that have complete pregnancy termination facilities can be found on this page of the Planning Familial website
