Civil society organisation, Section27, has raised concern over the shortage of registered abortion facilities in the country and a rise in the number of illegal clinics.
The organisation, which recently commemorated International Safe Abortion Day in Braamfontein in the Johannesburg CBD, went on a spree to take down illegal abortion posters.
Section27 also called on government to strengthen its efforts in providing vital information on this important medical procedure.
