From International Campaign for Women’s Right to Safe Abortion:

Alicia Wallace, director of Equality Bahamas, interviewed on Eyewitness News on 19 August, regarding the case of

an 11-year-old girl impregnated by her mother’s boyfriend, said:

“I have seen no evidence that this country is sympathetic to the needs or suffering of women and girls in this country. We are far behind in getting this done. Abortion is healthcare. It is a critical form of healthcare that should be made available to everyone who needs access to it, not only in situations of rape and incest, though obviously those are very difficult situations and definitely necessitate the availability of safe abortion for survivors.”
