Abstract
On June 18, 2022, the Iranian Government issued a directive instructing medical professionals to stop recommending antenatal screening tests. Expectant parents will now have to request such testing, which can only be ordered by gynaecologists. The move is the latest in a series of measures aimed at limiting abortions and access to birth control in Iran. The Youthful Population and Protection of the Family law, which was ratified towards the end of 2021, calls for the establishment of abortion panels to determine whether a pregnancy can be legally terminated.
