Abstract

This article focuses on the genesis of political thought regarding voluntary interruption of pregnancy (VIP) in the former Yugoslavia, with particular emphasis on the shaping of Slovenian legislation. The article demonstrates that the laws regulating VIP in the former Yugoslavia were liberalized gradually and cautiously. The constitutional principle of freedom of choice regarding childbirth, dating back to 1974, became the foundation for approving the Slovenian legislation in 1977, which is now considered some of the most liberal in this area. At the same time as the approval of this legislation, family-planning programs began coming into effect. Promoting the concept of family planning has been a great investment because these programs offered appropriate information on family-planning principles, the use of modern contraception, and means of detecting and treating sterility.
