In Kenya, abortion is only legal under certain circumstances, which include: to save the life of the woman, to preserve physical health or to preserve mental health. As stated by Article 26 of the Constitution, "Abortion is not permitted unless, in the opinion of a trained health professional, there is a need for emergency treatment, or the life or health of the mother is in danger, or if permitted by any other written law."<ref>[http://eaclj.org/about-us/7-fida-and-kclf-landscaped-comparison.html East African Center for Law & Justice: Abortion in Kenya]</ref> This means that other reasons, including rape or incest, fetal impairment, economic or social reasons or by request, are not permitted. Furthermore, for an abortion to be legal, the woman and her spouse must both consent. Furthermore, two medical opinions (one from a physician and one from a psychiatrist) must approve the abortion before it's performed. The abortion must take place in a hospital.<ref>[http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/abortion/profiles.htm UN Report: Abortion in Kenya]</ref>
Au Kenya, l'avortement est autorisé sous certaines conditions, qui sont: de sauver la vie de la mère, de préserver la santé physique ou mentale de la mère. Comme déclaré dans l'article  de la Constitution, "L'avortement n'est pas autorisé sauf si, d'après l'avis d'un professionnel de santé qualifié, il y a nécessité d'un traitement d'urgence, ou que la vie ou la santé de la mère est en danger, ou qu'une autorisation existe selon une autre loi écrite."<ref>[http://eaclj.org/about-us/7-fida-and-kclf-landscaped-comparison.html East African Center for Law & Justice: Abortion in Kenya]</ref> Ce qui signifie que dans certains cas, comme le viol ou l'inceste, une malformation du foetus, des raisons sociales ou économiques, ou la simple demande, l'avortement est interdit. De plus, pour que l'avortement soit légal, il faut que la femme et son époux y consentent; et il faut que deux opinions médicales (une d'un médecin et l'autre d'un psychiatre) donnent leur accord avant d'effectuer l'opération. L'avortement doit avoir lieu à l'hôpital.<ref>[http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/abortion/profiles.htm UN Report: Abortion in Kenya]</ref>


As reported by the International Women's Health Coalition in 2014, "Despite these greater legal rights, women in Kenya are still forced to resort to unsafe methods. As in many countries where abortion is or has been highly restricted, there is a dearth of access to and information about safe abortion in Kenya. Women continue to ingest herbs or other drugs or seek out untrained “quacks” who perform surgical procedures using unsterilized equipment in unsanitary conditions."<ref>[https://iwhc.org/2014/05/working-promise-safe-abortion-services-kenya/ Working for the Promise of Safe Abortion in Kenya]</ref>.
