There is a majority in the ethical council who now come up with the new recommendation. After 50 years with an abortion limit at the 12th week of pregnancy, Danish women will now have the right to free abortion up to the 18th week of pregnancy. – A higher limit will give women more time and opportunity to consider abortion, believes the leader of the ethics council Leif Vestergaard, according to DR. The council also proposes that 15-17-year-old girls should be able to have an abortion without parental consent. 50 years since free abortion in Denmark According to DR, the ethical council has looked at the abortion limit now because it is 50 years since free abortion was introduced in Denmark, and also because the abortion debate is raging in other European countries. There was a majority of nine out of 17 members of the council who voted to raise the abortion limit. Four of the members wanted the limit of 15 weeks, while the last four in the council wanted the same abortion limit as today.
