Legalizing abortion: Court hears pro-abortion case, should Kenya take this route?

22nd May, 2018

In 2017, a nurse who was sentenced to hang for helping a teenage girl procure an abortion was freed after three years on death row and five in remand. Jackson Tali, 44, became the first registered nurse to face the hangman’s noose in 2014 for procuring an abortion that led to the death of the girl and the foetus in 2009.

Court of Appeal judges Philip Waki, Roseline Nambuye and Kathurima M’Inoti saved Mr Tali from the death penalty, ruling that the evidence relied on by the High Court to convict him was not sufficient

The issue of abortion has been a bone of contention in Kenya over the years. With the country divided on whether to legalize the practice or not. The High Court is currently hearing the case.
