The woman has not done anything wrong. She got rid of pregnancy she did not want – I guess the man who impregnated her did not want the child either. Can the police arrest the biological father as well. This demonstrates why Malawi needs Abortion to be legalized. Let our parliamentarians pass the abortion bill. Abortion is happening everyday! Our population is too high!
