Two methods of abortion are available in New Zealand. Both require the same pre-abortion tests and have the same legal requirements.
Abortion is legal in New Zealand with the agreement of two certifying doctors.
If you’re thinking about having an abortion, see a doctor as early as possible in your pregnancy.
