Morocco’s Health Minister El Houssaine Louardi, in the wake of the ongoing windy debate that is currently taking place in Morocco on abortion, called yesterday in Rabat upon opening a “wise and serene constructive debate that will take into account the religious, legal, medical, social, ethical and cultural dimensions.”
Louardi said that the ongoing debate “depends on the adoption by all the parties of a flexible position so as to find common grounds that may lead to a lasting solution to this issue,” Morocco’s state Media Maghreb Agence Press (La MAP) reported.
“Resolving the abortion issue requires the involvement of several government departments and civil society organisations,” the said source reported Louardi saying.
Louardi stressed that the next reforms in Morocco’s abortion laws should allow “abortion to protect the physical and mental health of the mother in cases of rape, incest, Congenital malformation, adding that this will have positive impact on reducing maternal mortality and ensure safety conditions in abortion,” La MAP noted further.
Louardi also stressed that “the doctors are also designed to benefit from the action plan in the sense that they can practice their profession in transparency,” La Map closed.
