Impact of restrictive abortion laws

Though women in Botswana are recognized as having some of the best access to abortions in Sub-Saharan Africa because of these exceptions, many women are still resorting to unsafe abortions and self-induced abortions, commonly leading to maternal death.^[1]

Socio-cultural impacts on abortion

In Botswana, many families still follow the lobolo custom where men pay a woman's family in order to take her as a bride.^[2] This has established an expectation that husbands have paid for and own their wives' bodies, including their reproductive rights.^[2] Even though this sentiment may lead to pregnancy that is a result of rape, hospitals and clinics are unlikely to approve marital rape cases as justifying abortion, as cultural norms suggest husbands are entitled to their wives' bodies.^[2]
