No. Abortion is illegal except to save the pregnant person's life, for which a medical board is required to determine it.
Despite the legal exception in Article 433 of the Penal Code allowing abortion when the pregnant person’s life is at risk, the absence of official clinical protocols means healthcare providers often face uncertainty about when and how to apply this exception [2]. This leads to inconsistent care, with many providers hesitant to perform abortions even in life-threatening situations due to fear of legal repercussions. Consequently, pregnant individuals may experience delays or denial of necessary medical interventions, increasing health risks.
