 Arimathea Yes No No No Partial No No
Arimathean law permits abortion in the cases of fatal foetal abnormalities ("life which could not survive outside the womb") where it would cause "undue emotional distress to the child's parents." In practice, this is rarely granted, as such requests must be referred to the courts, and precedent considers that the loss of a child "consistently and rightly causes extreme emotional and mental duress."

The consent of the mother is the most important factor in determining whether a pregnancy is terminated. Unilateral termination of pregnancy by a doctor is only allowed if the mother is found to be incapable of rational communication and if the life of the mother is threatened. Otherwise the decision of the mother rules. In general however, women are encouraged to carry the child to term and put the child up for adoption as opposed to abortion, although if abortion were sought no repercussions would occur.

On request - Yes. However, though there is a statutory right to abortion, it is finally based on a registered practitioner's decision- should the practitioner believe that the abortion is performed out of coercion from the mother's sexual partner or parent, they reserve a right under the recent Public Medical Professional Act and Social Services Act to refuse to perform it; at this point, a second practitioner can give an opinion, and may ultimately perform it or submit for further investigation by local social services.
