Nicaragua Considers Complete Ban on Abortions
Currently, Nicaragua allows doctors the ability to provide abortions in situations where a woman’s life is endangered by continuing a pregnancy. But Nicaragua's Parliament is now considering revising the penal code to extend the ban on abortions to include cases where a woman's life is at risk. If this proposal becomes law, doctors that provide abortion care could be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison.
