In the state of Baja California, access to health services for the termination of pregnancy during the first 12 weeks of gestation, regardless of the reason for the termination, is legal. This is known as legal termination of pregnancy (ILE). <\/p>\n

Abortion is a right and is performed by the free decision of the woman or pregnant woman. It is not necessary to provide an explanation of the reasons for the abortion within the first 12 weeks of gestation. <\/p>\n

In addition to abortion, in Baja California there are other grounds for abortion to be legal.<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#42525a” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”||20px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

The grounds are situations for which a safe and legal abortion procedure may be requested, other than free choice. In these cases, health services and medical personnel must support women or pregnant women in identifying and facilitating their care, without increasing the requirements indicated in the law. <\/p>\n
