Abortion in Mozambique

(

)

... that abortions in Mozambique had government approval for three decades before abortion was actually legalized?

Source: In July 2014, the Mozambique Parliament introduced legislation for the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy, which legalized abortion in some specific circumstances. [...] A 1981 Ministry of Health (MOH) decree supported a broad interpretation of this risk and abortion was performed in designated public hospitals throughout the country. During this period, abortion in Mozambique was regarded as quasi-legal due to the discrepancy between the written law and everyday practice.

- Comment: And with that, there is now an article about abortion in every African country! (except for a few that probably aren't notable)
