Abortion in Algeria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abortion in Algeria is only legal if the abortion will save the woman's life or if the pregnancy gravely endangers the woman's physical or mental health.[1] In Algeria, any abortion performed under different conditions subjects the woman to six to twenty-four months in prison.[1] The person who performs the procedure may face one to five years in prison, pay a fine, and lose any medical license.[1]
Impact of strict abortion laws[edit]
The most common cause of maternal death in Algeria is from uterine perforations, half of which are caused by unsound illegal abortions.[1]
