|Becoming legal in the 1950s as a result of the Burgoignesc Women’s Liberation movement, [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Induced_Abortion|induced abortion]] has faded from general discourse because of its wide acceptance and vast popular support. Access is guaranteed by law and is available at most hospitals that provide maternal-fetal medicine. The government of [[Burgundie]] does not specify when in the gestation process a fetus becomes a person. The medical community has determined that they will not usually conduct abortions after the conclusion of the second trimester out of consideration of the health of the mother. Due to the flexibility of the law, extreme circumstances may warrant an abortion at any time, even in the third trimester.

|Legalized nationwide in all capacities in September 1960, the topic of abortion was bought forth to the federal court system, and subsequently Congress, following the Burgoignesc Women’s Liberation movement. Cartadania's strong ties with Burgundie and Burgoignacs living within its territory saw a push towards modernity. Prior to, induced abortion legality was determined by the state in which the procedure was performed. It has since become a rare topic of discussion and is typically just considered another medical option. Access is guaranteed by law and is available at most hospitals that provide maternal-fetal medicine and most local clinics. It is performed on the informed consent model during the "open window" (first 18 weeks) and as needed thereafter, although most facilities will not usually conduct abortions after the conclusion of the second trimester out of consideration of the health of the mother. Despite this, because there is no law in place on when a fetus becomes a person, extreme circumstances may warrant an abortion at any time, even in the third trimester, although this is quite rare.

|Fhainnin abortion law bans abortion in most cases except those with a medical risk to the mother or 'major congenital defects' as decided by an arbitration board. Functionally, the bar for medical risk is forgiving, including a range of health conditions from PCOS to morbid obesity to immune deficiency disorders to transmittable chronic diseases. Parents may opt to revoke their parental rights and give the child up for adoption.

| Abortions are illegal by default. The governing principle from Cultivated Law is that abortion if permissible only if necessitated by a "superseding iatric duty of the highest gravity". Although jurisprudence has not precisely elucidated the outer boundaries of this exception, the two schools of thought are "life only" (justified only for lifesaving operations) and "life and limb" (justifiable also to prevent permanently debilitating bodily injury). Many provinces are "life only" by statute; [[Fariva]] and military law are "life and limb" by statute. In domestic cases only the person performing the procedure is criminally responsible. Abortion tourism is prohibited, and is prosecutable under both the passport law (in federal court) and extraterritorial jurisdiction for Kiravian nationals (federal or provincial court).

| Due to the influence of the [[Catholic Church]] on Castadillaan society, abortion is generally illegal save for cases in which the "life and limb" of the mother is in jeopardy, in the event of rape, or in certain instances if the prospective child will not live to see their fifth birthday. To circumvent the bans on abortion, and to decrease the odds of an unwanted pregnancy, comprehensive sexual education and birth control are highly encouraged by the federal government.
