Off The Beaten Path: The Abortion referendum- the result from the polls
  • Tip Rating:
  • For a second time the Portuguese Government decided to call Portuguese voters for the sensitive issue of legalizing abortion on February 11, 2007. The first referendum was in 1998.

    Despite it is considered a crime in Portugal, there are no women currently in jail for violating the law, although some have been convicted and either had their sentences suspended or are appealing the ruling against them. (quote from an international media).

    The question put was the same as in 1998:
    "Do you agree with decriminalising abortion when requested by women, up to 10 weeks into pregnancy, and performed in an authorised clinic?"

    Referendum results - in Turquel:
    Yes - 35%
    No - 65%
    52 percent of eligible voters went to the poll.

    Referendum results - in Portugal:
    Yes - 59%
    No - 41%
    only 44 percent of eligible voters went to the polls.
