Activists challenge colonial-era abortion laws in Antigua and Barbuda
In Antigua and Barbuda, a legal challenge against colonial-era abortion laws is underway, spearheaded by a doctor and the nonprofit Women Against Rape. The current law permits abortion only if a woman's life is at risk, with severe penalties for other cases. Activists argue the law is unclear and discriminatory, while the government claims past legal reforms have decriminalized abortion. The Evangelical Alliance, representing multiple religious congregations, seeks to join the case, emphasizing the moral aspect of the debate. A court ruling is expected to clarify the legal standing and potentially influence abortion laws in the Caribbean region.
