Abortion is the act of terminating a pregnancy. In the Republic of Croatia, it is determined by laws that have not changed for several decades, and it is legal to terminate a pregnancy until the 10th week, or in the event of danger to a woman's life or a threat to the child's health. Throughout history, the question is often asked whether he should be allowed or not, and whether the act is actually considered murder. Religion plays a big role, so in countries that are very much associated with religion, it is forbidden and severely punished. Recently, certain associations and political parties in Croatia have been raising dust about the legal issue of this act, and certain doctors refuse to do so on the basis of a call to consciousness. This paper presents the terminology of abortion and a view from several aspects, such as aspects of the mother, the state, but also finance and the black market. A survey of attitudes about abortion of the general population and health professionals was conducted, through a survey. People are still quite uneducated about the legal status of abortion in the Republic of Croatia, but they advocate that it be legal, and that the mother has the right to make her own decisions, according to the results of both groups of respondents.
