When abortion is the consequence of an unintentional act

This ground refers to situations in which the pregnant person performs an action or omission that results in abortion without intending it to be the consequence of her action or omission. For example, in cases of accidental abortion or lack of access to health services. In these circumstances, the woman or person with gestational capacity can go to a health facility to receive the necessary emergency care.

“Everyone has the right to decide in a free and informed manner on the number and spacing of his or her children.”

Article 4 of the Constitution.

Abortion in Tabasco is Legal.

In Tabasco, abortion is a legal health service. You have the right to safe abortion and the law protects you. Local legislation guarantees the right to have an abortion at the free choice of the woman or pregnant woman during the first 12 weeks of gestation.
