A National discourse in Kampala disseminating facts on induced abortion in Uganda points to the fact that half of adolescent pregnancies in the country are un intended and that 15% end up in abortion. Statistics gathered by Makerere University, the Tutt-macher Institute and Public Health Ambassadors Uganda maintain that over 57,000 abortion take place among adolescents aged 15 -19 annually. The debate acknowledges the fact that Ugandan law explicitly allows abortion only to save a women's life, albeit further exposing millions to the net effects of teenage pregnancies.
