Major events

The Criminal Law Amendment Act

The Criminal Law Amendment Act decriminalized contraception and made abortion legal in situations where a pregnancy was considered a threat to a woman's life or health. The procedure for obtaining an abortion under the act was quite strict, requiring approval from a hospital's Therapeutic Abortion Committee and no less than three doctors.[2]
