Finnish law was further liberalised in 1970, allowing abortion for socio-economic reasons, if the woman was younger than 17 or older than 40, if the woman had already had four children, or if, owing to disease or mental disturbance, one or both parents would be unable to raise the child. In 2008, ... Under the 1970 law, abortions were to be performed before sixteen weeks of pregnancy. An amendment in 1978 allowed abortions to be performed at any point in cases of disease or physical defect in the woman. In 1979, the gestational limit was changed from sixteen to twelve weeks of pregnancy . [2] A 1985 bill allowed abortion up to 20 weeks of pregnancy for underage women and up to the 24th week if an amniocentesis or ultrasound found serious impairment in the fetus.en.wikipedia.org Abortion in Spain is legal, subject to different restrictions, depending on gestational age and reasons for the abortion. Abortion during the first trimester is legal on demand. Abortion during later stages of pregnancy is legal for medical reasons (risk to health of woman or risk of birth defects to fetus).en.wikipedia.org -- Carl
