Summary/Abstract: Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last few decades faces the problem of so-called "white plague", i.e. the problem of poor demographic population growth. There are several causes of this negative trend when it comes to population growth, and one of them is the increase in the number of abortions. Modern states have different laws and regulations on abortions, ranging from absolute prohibition of abortion with the possibility of exercise it only for the purpose to protect pregnant women, through its legalization in clearly defined cases to the broad set of options for performing an abortion on request of the pregnant woman and finally to complete legalization of abortion. Our legislative as well as the majority of European legislations in principle allow an abortion, but at the same time restrict certain conditions.
