In Scotland it is legal to have an abortion during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy, as long as certain criteria are met.
Abortion treatments must be carried out in a hospital or a place approved by Scottish Government Ministers, and two doctors must agree that an abortion would cause less risk to a woman's physical or mental health (or that of her children) than continuing with the pregnancy.
Individual NHS health boards are generally the port of call for women looking to get an abortion, with Glasgow City having a rate of 15 in every 1,000 women having had an abortion according to a report by Public Health Scotland.
