Do you think abortion should be legalised in Namibia, and why?

I don’t believe that abortion should be legalised, because it is a form of killing and Namibia is a country of Christianity.

2. Dimitri Cloete

I think abortion should be legalised only in certain situations; for example, if a woman is raped, then by all means abortion can be legalised. But not on the grounds of being financially incapable of taking care of a child.

Abortion should be legal, because women have the right to healthcare and choice.
