Sierra Leone’s information minister has defended plans to decriminalise abortion.
Rahman Swaray says it was not a gimmick and the government intended to pass the legislation.
He says that 14% of those who die during childbirth did so because of unsafe abortions - many of them teenagers.
President Julius Maada Bio says his government would try again at a time when sexual reproductive rights for women were under attack - a reference to the US Supreme Court's recent overturning a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion.
