Luxembourg’s Parliament this week scrapped a mandatory three-day waiting period between seeking a doctor’s consultation for an abortion and the procedure being carried out. The government in January had sent the draft law to the Chamber of Deputies for review and adoption as part of the regular lawmaking proceedings. The Assembly on 8 July 2025 voted on the text, with a broad majority — all parties except for the right-wing populist ADR — supporting the bill.
However, they rejected a proposal to extend the legal upper time limit for the procedure from 12 to 14 weeks of pregnancy.
