Illegal abortion in South Africa

Despite the right to safe, legal abortion being inshrined in law, unsafe, illegal abortions needlessly injure and even kill women in South Africa every year.

These unsafe, “backstreet” abortions are easily prevented if more women are informed of their rights. “Backstreet” is a term that can be misleading because today many unsafe, illegal providers appear somewhat legitimate posing behind slick marketing and flashy websites promising a “cheap, safe and painfree” abortion. In fact, an illegal abortion provider is anyone who does not have the training, professional qualitifcations and clinical environment to provide a safe abortion.

This includes those that: use the wrong or poor quality medication, do not have proper training to do the procedure, offer abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy as well as anyone performing abortions in a place that is not designated by the Department of Health.
