词条 | Abortion in Kenya |
释义 |
The 2010 Kenyan constitutional referendum that introduced article 26 broadened access to abortion by allowing it for maternal health reasons.[2] Christian churches, who feared it would lead to the legalisation of abortion, opposed the amendment.[3] A government survey estimated that there were 464,000 abortions induced in 2012, which translates into an abortion rate of 48 per 1,000 women aged 15-49, and an abortion ratio of 30 per 100 live births. About half (49 %) of all pregnancies in Kenya were unintended and 41 % of unintended pregnancies ended in an abortion.[4] Marie Stopes International estimates that 2,600 women die from unsafe abortions annually, an average seven deaths a day.[5]Nearly 120,000 women are hospitalized each year due to abortion-related complications.[4] References1. ^{{Cite web |title=Constitution of Kenya - Article 26(4)|author= |work=kenyalaw.org |date=2010 |access-date=1 March 2019 |url= http://www.kenyalaw.org/lex//actview.xql?actid=Const2010#KE/CON/Const2010/chap_4/hc_chap_4/sec_26}} {{Abortion in Africa}}{{abortion-stub}}2. ^{{Cite web |title=Kenya's high court to decide on safe abortion as teenager dies |last=Bhalla |first=Nita |work=Reuters |date=12 July 2018 |access-date=9 March 2019 |url= https://www.reuters.com/article/us-kenya-women-abortion/kenyas-high-court-to-decide-on-safe-abortion-as-teenager-dies-idUSKBN1K22DU}} 3. ^{{Cite web |title=Kenya's churches unite against draft constitution |author=Richard Allen Greene |work=CNN |date=4 August 2010 |access-date=9 March 2019 |url= http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/08/04/kenya.constitution.churches/index.html}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite journal |vauthors=Mohamed SF, Izugbara C, Moore AM, Mutua M, Kimani-Murage EW, Ziraba AK, Bankole A, Singh SD, Egesa C |title=The estimated incidence of induced abortion in Kenya: a cross-sectional study |journal=BMC Pregnancy Childbirth |volume=15 |issue= |pages=185 |date=August 2015 |pmid=26294220 |pmc=4546129 |doi=10.1186/s12884-015-0621-1}} 5. ^{{Cite web |title=Kenya lifts ban on Marie Stopes abortion services after warning lives are at risk |last=Ratcliffe |first=Rebecca |work=the Guardian |date=21 December 2018 |access-date=1 March 2019 |url= https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/dec/21/kenya-lifts-ban-marie-stopes-abortion-services-after-warning-lives-are-at-risk}} 3 : Health in Kenya|Abortion by country|Abortion in Africa |
