At the back of high records of rape cases in Malawi, the Malawi Council of Churches (MCC) has bagged their full support to a bill that would permit women to terminate unwanted pregnancy.
Under the yet to be enacted Termination of Pregnancy Bill, expectant mothers in Malawi would be afforded the opportunity to seek abortion in certain circumstances, without having to resort to backstreet procedures that have led to the death of scores of women.
