A referendum on partially legalising abortion was held in Gibraltar on 24 June 2021.[1] The referendum question was whether to enact the Crimes (Amendment) Act 2019, which allows abortions up to 12 weeks if the woman's mental or physical health is at risk. It also allows abortion later if the woman's life is at risk, to prevent "grave permanent" mental or physical injury, or if there is a fatal fetal abnormality.[2] It had originally been scheduled for 19 March 2020,[3] but was postponed on 12 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] The proposal was approved by 63% of voters.
