Whitney Chinogwenya, marketing and brand manager for Marie Stopes responds to Angela McNeil’s letter (‘Outrage over abortions’, November 2): At Marie Stopes South Africa we are prochoice, which refers not only to reproductive freedom and the right to a safe abortion but also the choice of when and with whom to have sex, regardless of sexual orientation.
Our Safe Abortion Care services offerings are within the law stipulated by the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act 92 of 1996 which supports a woman’s right to choice.
Globally, unsafe abortion is one of the top five causes of maternal mortality but when done by a trained professional, terminating a pregnancy is a safe procedure and has no side effects.
For a full range of sexual and reproductive services which includes contraception methods, STI Screening and Management, HIV Counselling and Testing and Well Woman packages, Marie Stopes is there for you.
