Abortion is legal in South Africa for women of any age. Parental permission is not needed. The decision to end or keep the pregnancy is yours, no-one can force you. Please go to a proper clinic… ‘backstreet abortions’ are dangerous and could kill you. Anyone can ask for an abortion in the first 3 months of pregnancy. After that, it’s legal to 5 months under certain circumstances. Don’t wait – seek help and advice the earlier, the better.
