The practice of terminating a pregnancy has been present throughout human history, but its regulation and societal acceptance have varied widely across cultures and epochs (Cohen et al, 2023; Huzaimah et al, 2023; Pagoto et al, 2024; Petchesky, 2024). This chapter seeks to explore the multifaceted dimensions of abortion, examining its historical evolution, the influence of religious and ethical perspectives, the legal landscapes that govern its practice, and the implications for women's rights and health with a special focus on Muslim majority countries.
