MPs Frode Jacobsen, Kari Henriksen, Kirsti Leirtrø, Anette Trettebergstuen, Ingvild Kjerkol and Kamzy Gunaratnam have introduced a proposal to add a new constitutional provision, § 103, protecting women's right to abortion on demand. The proposers argue that everyone must have the right to bodily autonomy and that the right to abortion is facing pressure internationally. They contend that constitutionalizing this right would prevent the Storting from reversing abortion legislation through ordinary parliamentary votes.

New § 103 would read: Everyone has the right to abortion on demand and the right to family planning. Any restriction on this right must be grounded in law, be necessary to serve a legitimate purpose, and cannot prevent real and safe access to abortion on demand. The state authorities must ensure the right to abortion on demand by providing equal access to information and sound health services.
