Oppressing a silent majority, the fight against safe abortion

Views on the Abortion Bill with Chikondi Mwale

The poor continue to be denied access to the much needed services they seek

Those who can afford abortion in Malawi, do manage to get safe termination of pregnancy. Those who can't afford it come to Government hospitals with complications of their  unsafe  abortions.

I think you get my stancce. It is those who can't afford it, that are being denied this  service regardless of whether it is legal or not. The rich/middle class abort safely whenever and however they want. Funny enough they are the ones protesting in the streets.

The poor and those who really need it are being silenced by the well to do religious leaders.

Chikondi Mwale is a medical doctor at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi.
