Summary/Abstract: The medical science proves that the life begins at the moment of conception, and that the child in the mother’s bowel feels not only the pain but also everything which happens in the mother’s ambience. The legal science, on contrary, claims that the life begins with the birth. Considering these claims, there are at least three key reasons for the reform of the legislation on breach of pregnancy the first and the most important reason lays in the necessity for harmonization of the law with the medical science. The second reason would be the protection of the women’s health as well as the off¬spring. The third, demographic reason also could not be neglected, since the rate of mortality in the Republika Srpska is higher than the birthrate.
