I've created this page as a sister-article to History of abortion. Someone put a lot of hard work into compiling this list. However, the article on HoA, is being expanded to include more material on the social contexts and the list as such takes up a lot of room in the article. While this material will be summarized in the article, I'd hate to see this all go to waste, so I created this page for it. I figured the expansion would create a timeline of greater value to WP. Although, upon reflection I recognize that some might not appreciate me broadening the context to reproductive rights.
But as such, the article could use more info pre-17th century, as well as info relating to contraceptives. Any comments? Phyesalis 01:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
The term "reproductive rights" is often used as code for the support of legal abortion, an extremely contentious position. The introduction to this "timeline of reproductive rights legislation" should not assume a general acceptance of legal abortion as part of a a "subset of human rights," ergo my qualification in the opening sentence.

How strictly should this timeline adhere to the title/description of covering reproductive rights legislation? I just removed some items which are not legislation, or are only peripherally related.
e.g.
Not legislation.
Others, which I have left for the moment:
Of course any legal action generally has antecedents, it is proposed, considered, drafted, argued, ... for some time before. I am not sure to what extent we should include such preparatory items. My general thought is that as long as we give a link to the main law/event/etc., that should suffice, since the article about that item should (hopefully) cover the antecedents. There might be a few cases where some particular model/event/advance triggers a bunch of legislative action, and therefore warrants inclusion.
Another item that I am not sure about is 1869 - Pope Pius IX. Is this legislation/legal action? A few centuries earlier the Papacy definitely had governmental/legislative type power. At that late date - were they still a government, or more of an NGO. Or does this qualify by being a tremendously important non-legislative event? (e.g. was this the first time Catholocism set a policy relating to abortion).

I read on this page that Mexico was the first country in the world to legalize abortion, sometime around 1930. But I don't think this is true. I believe that a whole ten years prior to this, in 1920, the Soviet Union became the first country (at least in Europe) to legalize abortion.

Came across this entry while researching for an article - someone went through and repeatedly changed "reproductive rights" and similar terms to "child murder/child murder rights." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadedlyrics ( talk • contribs) 06:49, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure how, for example, Mexico can be the first nation to legalize abortion in the cases of rape when those cases were already legal in the Soviet Union at the same time? The same is true with the other "firsts" on the timeline, which seems severely flawed as a result. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TorpedoFahrt ( talk • contribs) 21:44, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
Why isn't there a reference to Cuba? The Cuban government decriminalized abortion in 1965. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J.L.G. Perez ( talk • contribs) 08:50, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
