Abstract:
Abortion continues to be a sensitive and public health problem because of its significant contribution to maternal morbidity and mortality, its infringement on women’s right to access quality abortion care, as well as the controversial legal, diverse social norms, and personal beliefs associated with it. Although Nigeria has a restrictive abortion law, however, in conditions where abortion is legal and post-abortion care, women still end up having an unsafe abortion.
