Spanish term

un sistema de indicaciones o causales

Spanish to English Law/Patents Government / Politics
I am translating a political speech about the current abortion laws in Chile which proposes to change these laws to make abortion legal in certain circumstances.

The paragraph I am translating talks about a new system which will be introduced by the new law.

The paragraph reads:

En general, pueden distinguirse dos tipos de regulaciones. Un primer modelo es aquel que establece un sistema de plazos que permite la interrupción del embarazo sin exigir a la mujer justificar sus motivos. El segundo corresponde a aquellos que establecen un sistema de indicaciones o causales. En este, para que una mujer pueda interrumpir su embarazo debe estar en alguna de la situaciones que la ley lo permita.

I am struggling to find an equivalent of 'un sistema de indicaciones o causales' in English.

Any help is much appreciated - Thank you!

Introducción: esta contribución propone romper con la dicotomía -en materia de aborto- entre los sistemas de "solución de los plazos" (libre decisión de la embarazada dentro de un plazo fijado legalmente, generalmente las primeras 12 semanas de gestación) y el sistema o modelo de indicaciones o permisos (causales que permiten la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo [IVE] previamente establecidas por la ley).

a system of signs or causes

you have to get the idea of "indicaciones" in. I use "signs" as used in medical diagnosis
