Liberalizing the Abortion Law in South Africa
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2009
Extract
The Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1996, greatly liberalizes the abortion laws. As is noted in its Preamble:
“This Act repeals the restrictive and inaccessible provisions of the Abortion and Sterilization Act 1975, and promotes reproductive rights and extends freedom of choice by affording every woman the right to choose whether to have an early, safe and legal termination of pregnancy according to her individual beliefs.”
