The major barriers to safe abortion care are: A. Prohibiting access to information on legal abortion services, or failing to provide public information on the legal status of abortion; requiring third-party authorization from one or more medical professionals or a hospital committee, court or police, parent or guardian or a woman's partner or spouse; B. Restricting available methods of abortion, including surgical and medical methods through, for instance, lack of regulatory approval for essential medicines; restricting the range of health-care providers and facilities that can safely provide services. To physicians in inpatient facilities with sophisticated equipment; C. Failing to assure referral in case of conscientious objection; requiring mandatory waiting periods; censoring, withholding or intentionally misrepresenting health-related information; D. Excluding coverage for abortion services under health insurance, or failing to eliminate or reduce service fees for poor women and adolescents; failing to guarantee confidentiality & privacy, including for treatment of abortion complications; requiring women to provide the names of practitioners of illegal abortion before providing them with treatment for complications from the procedure.
