Abortion in Colombia is legal under three circumstances: physical or mental health risks for the pregnant person, nonviability, or when the pregnancy resulted from rape or from an artificial insemination performed without consent. According to a survey carried out in three Colombian cities in October 2019, around seven of every ten respondents in Bucaramanga knew abortion was legal in certain cases. In comparison, less than half of respondents in Popayán were informed about the legal framework.
