Abortion in Burkina Faso

Abortion in Burkina Faso is only legal in the following circumstances;

If the abortion will save the woman's life
If the pregnancy gravely endangers the woman's physical or mental health
If the child will potentially be born with an incurable disease
In pregnancy cases resulting from rape or incest, so long as it is proven by a state prosecutor.^[1]

Even these abortions are limited to the first ten weeks of pregnancy.^[1]

In Burkina Faso, any abortion performed under other conditions subjects the person who performs the procedure subject to one to five years imprisonment and imposition of a fine of 300,000 to 1,500,000 CFA francs.^[2]
