Contexts such as those found in South Africa teach us a lot about abortion access; it does not stop at legislation. Like many women across the globe, South African women are afforded abortion access via legislation, but the stigma upheld by practitoners and people alike often means they struggle to access it, and even if they do, the mental turmoil they go through can often detract them from seeing the procedure through.
