Induced abortion: When a procedure is done or medication is taken to end a pregnancy. In Sweden, it is a requirement that the abortion takes place before the end of the 18th week of gestation, while in the other Nordic countries it must be performed
before the end of the 12th week of gestation. However, induced abortion may also be carried out after the 12th or 18th week of gestation, but only following special assessment and permission. In Denmark, Greenland, Norway and Sweden, it is solely up to
the pregnant woman herself to decide whether an abortion is to be performed, while permission is required in the Faroe Islands, Finland, Åland and Iceland. Such permission is given on the basis of social and/or medical criteria
