Abortion laws vary widely among countries and territories,and have changed over time. Such laws range from abortion being freely available on request,to regulation or restrictions of various kinds,to outright prohibition in all circumstances. Many countries and territories that allow abortion have gestational limits for the procedure depending on the reason;with the majority being up to 12 weeks for abortion on request,up to 24 weeks for rape,incest,or socioeconomic reasons,and more for fetal impairment or risk to the woman's health or life. As of 2022,countries that legally allow abortion on request or for socioeconomic reasons comprise about 60% of the world's population.

A six-week abortion ban,also called a "fetal heartbeat bill" by proponents,is a law in the United States which makes abortion illegal as early as six weeks gestational age,which is when proponents claim that a "fetal heartbeat" can be detected. Medical and reproductive health experts,including the American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,say that the reference to a fetal heartbeat is medically inaccurate and misleading because a conceptus is not called a fetus until eight weeks after fertilization,as well as that at four weeks after fertilization,the embryo has no heart,only a group of cells which will become a heart. Medical professionals advise that a true fetal heartbeat cannot be detected until around 17 to 20 weeks of gestation when the chambers of the heart have become sufficiently developed.

Abortion in Kansas is legal. Kansas law allows for an abortion up to 20 weeks postfertilization. After that point,only in cases of life or severely compromised physical health may an abortion be performed,with this limit set on the belief that a fetus can feel pain after that point in the pregnancy. The state also had detailed abortion-specific informed consent requirement by 2007. Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP) law applied to medication-induced abortions and private doctor offices in addition to abortion clinics were in place by 2013. In 2015,Kansas became the first state to ban the dilation and evacuation procedure,a common second-trimester abortion procedure. State laws about abortion have been challenged at the Kansas Supreme Court and US Supreme Court level. On August 2,2022,Kansas voters rejected a constitutional amendment that would have allowed the Republican-controlled legislature to restrict or ban abortion in Kansas,following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Abortion in Kentucky is illegal. There were laws in Kentucky about abortion by 1900,including ones with therapeutic exceptions. In 1998,the state passed legislation that required clinics to have an abortion clinic license if they wanted to operate. By the early 2010s,members of the Kentucky Legislature attempted to ban abortion in almost all cases and had also introduced the early abortion bans. Prior to 2019,Kentucky law prohibited abortions after week 22. This changed when the state legislature passed a law that moved the prohibition to week 6 in the early part of the year. In that year,57% of people in Kentucky said abortion should be "illegal in all or most cases." A bill passed and made effective in April 2022 lowered the threshold to 15 weeks,the second most restrictive limit in effect in the United States behind Texas,and introduced regulations that made abortion illegal until it was blocked in federal court.
