In Singapore no parental consent is needed for abortion surgery , even if you are less than 16 years of age (but above 14 years of age). However, you need to be above 16 years of age before an abortion can be performed with just your consent alone. There is no need to involve any other relatives.
Singapore does not allow abortions to be performed on the same day unless you are already in the process of suffering a miscarriage. A cooling period of 48 hours is mandatory after the first consultation where you will be given a video link to watch which highlights the procedural details, potential side effects, contraception and other options available.
