The Norwegian government proposes to extend the right to free abortion from week 12 to week 18.
“Today’s abortion law has played an important role for women throughout the country for tens of years, and my goal is that the new abortion law will also stand for a long time to come,” says Health Minister Jan Christian Vestre (Ap) in a press release.
In Sweden, since 1974, women have had the right to decide on an abortion up to and including the 18th week of pregnancy. In Norway, a pregnant woman can apply for an abortion from week 13 to week 22. The case is then dealt with in a special committee.
In a report in December, an investigation determined that the right to free abortion in Norway should be expanded in the way the government is proposing on Friday.
The proposal must now be submitted to the Storting.

At eight o’clock on Friday morning, train traffic between Stockholm and Gothenburg was stopped urgently due to an accident. For about an hour, the trains stood still on the route, and then caused consequential delays.
What was behind the extensive stop turned out to be a crow after a check.
– The train driver who drove the affected train felt that he ran into something. Then we always have to make a stop, says Felicia Danielsson, press communicator at the Swedish Transport Administration.
As it was unknown what had been driven over, traffic had to be shut down on the railway, in order to rule out that it was a human.
– When we found out that it was a crow, of course we were happy. It is positive that no one was injured.
The Swedish Transport Administration does not keep statistics on how common it is for crows to cause train stoppages of this magnitude, but according to Felicia Danielsson, it sometimes happens that birds collide with trains.
Train traffic resumed as usual at nine o’clock in the morning.
