The Malawi Parliamentary Health Committee says it will present and move a motion of the Termination of Pregnancy (TOP) bill on Thursday, March 11 2021 in the Parliament which will also be presented as a Private Member’s Bill respectively in the face of opposition from faith groups.
Ngwale: To table the bill
Pro-choice campaigners believe almost half of the 193 MPs in the national assembly back the bill, but there is strong opposition.
If passed, the termination of pregnancy bill would allow abortions when a woman’s mental or physical health is in danger, in cases of rape and incest, and when there are serious foetal abnormalities.
