Equality Bahamas Co-Director : Abortion Is Healthcare
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The conversation around decriminalizing abortion in The Bahamas was sparked again last week after Acting Press Secretary Keishla Adderley suggested the issue would be prioritized if public outcry reached a level the Davis Administration saw as urgent. For many, that simply is not soon enough.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The conversation around decriminalizing abortion in The Bahamas was sparked again last week after Acting Press Secretary Keishla Adderley suggested the issue would be prioritized if public outcry reached a level the Davis Administration saw as urgent. For many, that simply is not soon enough.
Alicia Wallace, Co-Director of Equality Bahamas, responding to the repeated sentiment that abortion law reform will remain unaddressed unless there’s outcry to address decriminalizing abortion.
She says the current framework does nothing but worsen the pressure on already vulnerable groups.
Wallace hopes those who lack sympathy for women, can at least extend their sympathy to young girls. But for now, that is not the case in Bahamian law.
Just last week, Dr. Jamil Minnis, a Gynecologist, was charged with conspiracy to commit abortion after being accused of performing an illegal abortion on a 15-year-old girl.
