  abstract = {{A}bortion is a fertility regulation practice that women use in the absence of contraception or when contraceptives fail. {L}aws regulating this practice in different countries range from allowing it on request to restrictive access and even total prohibition. {W}here the right to abortion is established, it is frequently challenged. {D}ebates around legalization are centred on the rights of women, the rights of the embryo, and the health consequences of unsafe abortions. {B}ut whether abortion is legal or prohibited, women around the world resort to it, with great disparities in the intensity of the practice and its health and social consequences. {L}evels of safety of abortions varies widely between countries and regions (safe, less safe, and least safe). {T}hey have improved with the spread of medical abortion, particularly in countries with legal limits on access, where they replace riskier methods. {T}he available data are highly heterogeneous: from healthcare statistics in countries where abortion is legal, to survey data of varying levels of completeness, and including the use of sophisticated methods to estimate levels in countries where legal access is restricted.},
