Prečo je zákaz interrupčnej tabletky v rozpore s ústavou? Why is the ban on abortion pill in conflict with the Constitution? Doc. Mgr. Marek Káčer, PhD., Právnická fakulta Trnavskej univerzity v Trnave Právny obzor, 108, 2025, No. 2, pp. 145 – 158. Published online: 2025 https://doi.org/10.31577/pravnyobzor.2025.2.03 Abstract. This article examines how and why medical abortion is banned in Slovakia and whether this measure is in line with the Constitution and Slovakia’s international obligations. The text concludes that the prohibition of medical abortion in Slovakia does not follow directly from the text of the legislation, but only from the de facto position of the state authorities, led by the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic. It is clear from the circumstances of the debate on the ban on the abortion pill that the main motive for this measure is the protection of unborn human life. Although this is a legitimate aim, banning the abortion pill is an unacceptable means of achieving it. That measure is contrary to the right to health and the prohibition of inhuman and degrading treatment. Moreover, in the version in which it is being promoted in Slovakia, it also contravenes the principle of legality and the principle of the separation of powers. Key words: abortions, abortion pill, inhuman and degrading treatment, mifepristone, right to protection of health
