Lobby groups advocate for the legalization of safe abortion

Reproductive Health Human rights lobby groups in Nakuru County have petitioned the government to decriminalize safe abortion in Kenya, citing rising numbers of unsafe procedures and maternal deaths. They say that Article 26(4) of the Constitution allows for abortion if the life or health of the mother is at risk, but does not explicitly provide for women who are victims of sexual violence or those unable to carry a pregnancy to term due to various reasons.
