Potentially inaccurate information.

[edit]

When reading through the penal code I've been unable to find any mention of access to abortion in the case of a threat to a mother's life. There is no mention of it post-1977, where its cited in penal code 150-152 as:

"150. Any person who, with intent to procure the miscarriage of a woman, whether she is or is not with child, unlawfully administers to her or causes her to take any poison or other noxious thing, or uses any force of any kind, or uses any other means whatever, shall be guilty of a felony, and shall be liable to imprisonment for 10 years.

The like by woman with child

151. Any woman who, being with child, with intent to procure her own miscarriage, unlawfully administers to herself any poison or other noxious thing, or uses any force of any kind, or uses any other means whatever, or permits any such thing or means to be administered or used to her, shall be guilty of a felony, and shall be liable to imprisonment for life.

Supplying drugs or instruments to procure abortion

152. Any person who unlawfully supplies to or procures for any person anything whatever, knowing that it is intended to be unlawfully used with intent to procure the miscarriage of a woman, whether she is or is not with child, is guilty of a felony, and shall be liable to imprisonment for 5 years."
