Abortion in New Zealand is available within the framework of the Abortion Legislation Act 2020, which entirely eliminated the criminal status of abortion and allows termination on request during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. After 20 weeks, abortion is permitted only if a health practitioner deems it "clinically appropriate", and consults at least one other health practitioner.
