infant at birth. This related study seeks for the perceptions about abortion in urban Botswana to
understand the culture, mood and attitude of women towards reproductive autonomy. It was
looking for a way for effective safe abortion and it could be only done if the restrictive laws will
eventually be abolished to allow women access to safe, timely abortions. And as the study
