900 000 conceptions are being registered in the world daily. 150
000 abortions are being performed daily and 53-60 million abortions
annually.
In 2004 a law was passed in Armenia stipulating for every woman's
right to undergo an abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. To
undergo an abortion after the 12th and 22nd weeks, doctor's permission
must be obtained.
Starting from 2005, no cases of women dying during abortion were
registered in Armenia. Abortion rate in Armenia decreased 4 times
compared with 1990s results, Mother and Child Healthcare Department
Leading Specialist Gayane Avagyan stated.
She noted that many Armenian women have changed their attitudes to
pregnancy and abortions: more women are using contraceptives which
decreases abortion cases.
Medical consultations for pregnant women are conducted free-of-charge
in Armenia.
According to recent National Program, every pregnant woman is
entitled to a Maternity Certificate in a policlinic where she receives
consultations. The certificate entitles a woman to free consultations
and childbirth.
