On 28 June 1998 a referendum on a new abortion law was conducted in Portugal; it was the second national referendum in the Portuguese history and the first after the 1974 Carnation Revolution. The law was proposed by the Portuguese Communist Party and it decriminalized abortion during the first ten weeks of pregnancy and was considered by the left as the only way to put an end to the estimated 20 to 50 thousand illegal abortions in the country. The law was approved in the Assembly of the Republic through a majority of the center-left and left-wing parties, but an agreement between the Socialist Party and the Social Democratic Party parties leaders led to the referendum.

  • On 28 June 1998 a referendum on a new abortion law was conducted in Portugal; it was the second national referendum in the Portuguese history and the first after the 1974 Carnation Revolution. The law was proposed by the Portuguese Communist Party and it decriminalized abortion during the first ten weeks of pregnancy and was considered by the left as the only way to put an end to the estimated 20 to 50 thousand illegal abortions in the country. The law was approved in the Assembly of the Republic through a majority of the center-left and left-wing parties, but an agreement between the Socialist Party and the Social Democratic Party parties leaders led to the referendum. The referendum was held on a summer day, which is said to have contributed to the fact that the turnout was so low that it did not pass the threshold of 50 percent of the voters needed to make the decision binding, although the winning answer, NO, was respected and the law was not changed, meaning abortion was only allowed in exceptional case (such as rape, mal-formations of the fetus and danger to the women's health). In the following years, a few dozen women (a small minority of the estimated illegal abortions) were defendants in three trials for abortion. A revote occurred in the 2007 Portuguese abortion referendum, where the result was reversed. The question present in the ballots was: "Do you agree with the decriminalization of the voluntary interruption of the pregnancy, if it takes place in the first 10 weeks and in an authorized healthcare institution?"

  • Am 8. Juni 1998 fand in Portugal ein Referendum statt, in der die portugiesische Bevölkerung über die Legalisierung des freiwilligen Schwangerschaftsabbruches entscheiden konnte. Die Baevölkerung entschied sich mit einer äußerst knappen Mehrheit (50,07 Prozent) gegen den Vorschlag. (de)
  • Un référendum sur l'interruption volontaire de grossesse s'est tenu au Portugal le 8 juin 1998 pour décider ou non de la légalisation de l'avortement jusqu'à dix semaines après la fécondation. Le projet a été rejeté, mais la faible participation des électeurs (31,91 %) aurait invalidé le résultat d'un référendum favorable. La loi avait été approuvée par le Parlement, mais un accord entre le Parti socialiste et le Parti social-démocrate avait décidé d'un référendum. Les résultats officiels du référendum montrent que 50,91 % des suffrages exprimés ont rejeté la proposition mise aux voix populaires, et 49,09 % l'ont approuvée. Un nouveau vote par référendum a eu lieu en 2007 où le résultat a été inversé sans que soit atteint le quorum de 50 % de votants qui permet de valider le résultat. * Portail du Portugal * Portail de la politique * Portail des femmes et du féminisme * Portail des années 1990 (fr)
  • O referendo à despenalização do aborto em Portugal (1998) realizou-se no dia 28 de Junho de 1998, tendo sido o primeiro referendo realizado em Portugal e também o primeiro sobre este tema. A questão foi a seguinte: * "Concorda com a despenalização da interrupção voluntária da gravidez, se realizada, por opção da mulher, nas 10 primeiras semanas, em estabelecimento de saúde legalmente autorizado?" Nessa campanha, ao contrário do que aconteceria em 2007, o então primeiro-ministro António Guterres, apesar de provir de um partido de esquerda, o PS, militou ao lado do Não pelos seus princípios morais e como Católico. No entanto, como não votaram mais de cinquenta por cento dos eleitores, o referendo não teve efeito vinculativo. (pt)
