{{Merge to | Abortion law#National laws|date=March 2019}}Abortion in Cameroon is only legal if the abortion will save the woman's life, the pregnancy gravely endangers the woman's physical or mental health, or the pregnancy is a result of rape.[1]

Statistics

In 1997, a survey in Yaoundé found 20 percent of women aged 20–29 had had at least one abortion.[2][3] 80 percent of these procedures took place in a medical facility, but they were not always safe, and women often faced complications.[2] The odds that a pregnant woman would seek an abortion were increased if they were educated or had children.[2] Of women reporting past abortions, 40% had two or more.[2] The survey found that 35% of all reported pregnancies in the capital city ended in abortion.[3]

Access to reproductive health care

In 1990, the Cameroon government passed Act No. 90/035 to prohibit birth control education.[4] Reports found that abortion and secretive reproductive health services were widespread and made up 40 percent of OB/GYN emergency admissions.[4] However, most access to abortion clinics were limited to urban centers within the country.[4]
