Namibia: Polygamy to Be Outlawed

Namibia: Mother on trial for abortion “wanted to regulate bleeding”

    Allgemeine Zeitung [Google Translation]: “Ester Amunyela (21) . . . who last week allegedly initiated the birth of her seven months old fetus and . . . disposed of [the baby] in a garbage can, was [made her case before the] Magistrate Court in Swakopmund. She is on trial for abortion and concealment of birth. Amunyela testified that [she had] requested in a pharmacy a drug to regulate her menstrual disorder. She had been told that [regulation would occur] in the [breaking off] of blood clots. The [abortion] took place at night, it was pitch dark, and [she collected the 'blood clots'] in a bucket of water . . . and disposed of them in the dustbin.”
