Is abortion legal In Thailand?

The law allows abortions in cases of rape, sex trafficking and all girls under 15. It’s also allowed if the pregnancy poses potential physical or mental harm to the mother, a broad enough clause used to justify the many clinical procedures performed. Women can also terminate their pregnancy if the fetus is found to have serious disabilities or genetic disorders.

• Women ending their pregnancies without satisfying one of these requirements face three years in jail and a 6,000-baht fine.
• Those performing the abortion can be jailed five years and fined up to 14,000 baht.
• In cases resulting in serious injury or death, the maximum penalty is 10 years in jail and a 20,000-baht fine.
