    Abstract:
    In spite of restrictive legislation, practice of legal abortion has become liberal in Switzerland, bringing illegal abortions to disappear. Moreover, sex education and widespread contraception have reduced the number of legal abortions. Today, in spite of liberalization, the abortion rate is among the lowest worldwide. Prevention targeted specifically at migrant women and spreading knowledge about postcoital contraception might reduce it further. Liberalization in practice must be followed by liberalizing legislation.
