Induced abortion is permitted in Burkina Faso only to save the life and protect the health of a
pregnant woman, or in cases of rape, incest, and severe fetal impairment. As a result, the vast

abortions in the first place); and describes some of the adverse consequences of unsafe abortion
for women, their families and society.
