Abortion, as reported by APE-MPE, is punishable by six months to five years in prison in Morocco. Under the penal code, both the woman who undergoes an abortion (with a sentence ranging from six months to two years in prison) and those who perform the procedure (with one to five years in prison) are punished.
In Morocco a debate began in 2015 about “the necessity” to change the legislation in the face of the scourge of hundreds of illegal abortions that take place every day, often in deplorable sanitary conditions.
An official committee had then proposed that abortion be allowed in “some cases of force majeure”, mainly in cases of rape or serious malformations of the fetus. However, the legislation has not yet changed.
