Abortion in Nigeria
In Nigeria, abortion is illegal and perceived to be a taboo except if it is performed to save the life of a woman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Policy on Abortion in the Nigerian Society )〕 Abortions that meets these requirements are considered legal provided two physicians certify that the pregnancy poses a threat to the life of the woman. Abortion, which has been one of the most controversial issues in the Nigerian society is governed by two laws, one for the predominantly Muslim state in Northern Nigeria and another for the predominantly Christian states in Southern Nigeria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Nigeria’s Abortion Provisions )〕 Related to criminal law of India and Pakistan, the Penal Code, Law No. 18 of 1959 is in effect in the predominantly Muslim state in Northern Nigeria. In the Southern states, the holding of ''Rex v. Bourne'' is applied, which allows abortions to be performed for physical and mental health reasons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=ABORTION POLICY: Nigeria )〕
==Statistics==
According to a research made by the Guttmacher Institute in 1996, Nigerian women obtain approximately 610,000 abortions, a rate of 25 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 each year. These figures are estimated to have increased to 760,000 in 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Reducing unsafe abortion in Nigeria. )〕 The research further revealed that only 40% of abortions are performed by physicians with improved health facilities while the remaining percentage are performed by non-physicians.〔
