South Africa Parliament Promotes Abortions, Allows Nurses to Do Them

Pretoria, South Africa (LifeNews.com) -- The parliament in South Africa has approved a bill that would tear down some of the very low limits on legal abortions and allow nurses and midwives to do them. The measure does away with any requirements that abortions be done in hospitals, paving the way for freestanding abortion businesses. It also removes any of the pre-abortion requirements before an abortion can be done. The legislation now heads to President Thabo Mbeki to sign. During the debate in the parliament's upper house, Joyce Masilo, a deputy from the ruling African National Congress, said the measure "promotes quality health care." But, pro-life advocates oppose the law and say that girls as young as 12 can get abortions up to 20 weeks into pregnancy without any limits.

That would mean that a woman who wanted to have an abortion could call up a midwife to come to her home and perform an abortion - scary!
