IntroductionThe Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act 1996 allows a women to terminate pregnancy upon her request if she is within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy (gestation). However an abortion can be performed from the the 13th to 20th week of pregnancy if approved by a medical practitioner under the following conditions :
* continuing the pregnancy may be a risk to the mother’s physical or
mental health.
* the fetus (foetus) may suffer with severe physical or mental
abnormalities should the pregnancy continue to full term.
* the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest.
* continuing the pregnancy may have severe economic or social impact
on the mother.
An unwanted pregnancy can be a daunting prospect for many women and teen girls especially without appropriate financial or social support. Fortunately within South Africa, the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1996 allows an expectant mother to terminate the pregnancy through safe and cost effective abortions. Choosing the correct abortion method is essential in maintaining both your reproductive health and preventing complications or even death.
Abortion Clinics in South Africa
Many private and public health facilities now provide medical and surgical abortions at an affordable rate or free to expectant mothers. A private abortion clinic in South Africa is often the facility of choice for pregnant women as it provides affordable and safe abortions in addition to counseling and a choice of abortion methods. Public health facilities also provide these services but the strained public health care system in South Africa means that pregnant women may not always be given the same level of care or priority compared to a private abortion clinic. 0747095212
