In Mauritania, abortion is generally illegal. However, it appears that it is informally permitted in certain cases, which include when: the pregnancy endangers the life of the pregnant person, or when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. To be clear, there is no formal legislation that supports these exceptions, but some organizations (such as Women on Waves) report that such informal conditions may be accepted.<ref>[https://www.womenonwaves.org/en/page/5005/abortion-law-mauritania Abortion Law Mauritania]</ref> | |||
