Abortion in Algeria
Abortion in Algeria is only legal if the abortion will save the woman's life or if the pregnancy gravely endangers the woman's physical or mental health.[1] In Algeria, any abortion performed under different conditions subjects the woman to six to twenty-four months in prison.[1] The person who performs the procedure may face one to five years in prison, pay a fine, and lose any medical license.[1]
Impact of strict abortion laws
The most common cause of maternal death in Algeria is from uterine perforations, half of which are caused by unsound illegal abortions.[1]
