Abortion is permitted to save the woman's life, to preserve physical health, to preserve mental health, foetal impairment and economic or social reasons. Zambia became the first sub-Saharan African nation to liberalize abortion. Since 1972, abortion has been legal for health and socio-economic reasons through the 12th week of pregnancy. However, a legal abortion must be performed in a hospital, and the woman must have the signatures of three physicians (one of them a specialist)"

Abortion is permitted to save the woman's life, to preserve physical health, in the case of rape or incest and foetal impairment. The present law (1977) allows abortion only in official cases of rape or incest (which have been reported to the police immediately), foetal anomaly, or when the woman's life at risk. It is estimated that more than 70,000 illegal abortions take place every year, and abortion is one of the major causes of death among women.
