Do I Need Anyone’s Permission or Consent?

Abortion has been legal in Singapore since 1969. Parental consent is not required under the Singapore Abortion Act unless the pregnant woman is not of sound mind and body.

However the Act also requires that the woman undergoes brief counselling by a qualified abortion counsellor at any accredited abortion clinic, and watch a video on the subject.

Girls under 16 years of age have to undergo mandatory counselling at the Health Promotion Board Counselling Centre. They will be issued with a Certificate of Attendance (COA) without which they will not legally be allowed to have an abortion.

There is also a mandatory waiting period of 48 hours after the counselling before the procedure can be done.

Foreigners also have to fulfill certain requirements before they can undergo legal termination in Singapore.
 
Contraception

OH NO! I'VE HAD UNPROTECTED SEX. AM I LIKELY TO GET PREGNANT?

Singapore Abortion

When accidents happen, and you don't want to get pregnant, be assured that emergency contraception is available as a backup, provided you seek consultation with an OBGYN specialist as soon as possible. Even if a few days have passed, some methods may still be able to drastically reduce the chance of pregnancy.

Nonetheless, because of the high dosage of hormones required, this should not be thought of as an alternative to long-term contraception

Today, there are many contraceptives or birth control methods to choose from. We will be happy to discuss the different options with you and your partner, if desired, in order to determine which method is right for you
