40% :Nepal's abortion law permits women to seek abortion for any reason up to 12 weeks of gestation, and up to 28 weeks in cases of rape or incest.
40% : In a landmark 2009 decision, Nepal's Supreme Court recognized that legalizing abortion alone was not enough to protect women's reproductive rights.
39% : However, the act failed to fully decriminalize abortion.
38% : Nepal should deliver its commitment to amend the criminal code by removing the provision that still criminalizes abortion, bringing it in line with legislation which clearly recognizes the right.
35% : Abortion is also legal up to 28 weeks of the pregnancy if a licensed medical practitioner identifies a risk to the woman's mental or physical health or if the fetus is "likely to become non-viable."
