We asked whether any women were being adversely affected by the 12-weeks limit. A retrospective record review of all 1,734 pregnant women requesting termination of pregnancy in five public hospitals in Maputo in 2005-2006 revealed that it tended to be those who were younger and poorer, with lower levels of education, literacy and formal employment who were coming for abortions after 12 weeks. Countries such as Mozambique that endeavor to enhance equality, equity and social justice must consider the detrimental effect of narrow gestational limits on its most vulnerable citizens and include second trimester abortions. We believe the 12-weeks restriction works against efforts to reduce maternal deaths due to unsafe abortion in the country. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
