Sažetak
The solutions of the Croatian Law on Health Measures in Implementation of the Right to Freely Decide on Childbirth, still in force from 1978, are analyzed. In the legislative activities, theory usually gives critical comments, but in reality, current judicial practice indicates if proposed legislative solutions are appropriate. In the case of this law, the role of the judicial practice has been overtaken by the annual official medical statistics on the legal
abortions in the public hospitals. In that way it is possible to compare the implementation of the Law in the everyday practice. Official statistical reports demonstrate that the number of the legal abortions is declining under the implementation of the same law. It is likely that
the fi gures are proof of the evident progress and that we can notice the decay of the liberal law from 1978. If this data is considered as a reality, they are an argument of the evident progress and even a dream for the legislator who is responsible for the legalization of such
delicate matter: declining medical statistics on the legal abortions with the same liberal law.
