Abortion in first 12 weeks to be allowed(Bangkok Post file photo)The cabinet has approved a law amendment bill that allows women with pregnancies of not more than 12 weeks to get an abortion. If approved by the House of Representatives early next year, the bill will let such women have abortion if they “insist on terminating the pregnancies”. The new Section 301 allows women with pregnancies of not more than 12 weeks to get abortion. In the current version, abortion is not allowed in all cases. A clause will be added to allow any woman with a pregnancy not more than 12 weeks to get an abortion if she insists on terminating it.
