Abortion and unintended pregnancy in Kenya.

Rubina Hussain.   

Abstract

Unintended pregnancy and unsafe abortion are common in Kenya, leading to high levels unplanned births and avoidable maternal injury and death. Until recently, abortion was only legally permissible to save the life of a woman, but a new constitution adopted in 2010 includes language that makes abortion available to protect a woman's health.
