Three persons arrested in Fes for abortion attempt
Morocco, Local, 9/17/2003

Three persons involved in a case of abortion, including a retired medic and supervisor of a private clinic, were arrested last Saturday in Fes for attempting to perform an abortion.

A 38-year old man and his girlfriend were also arrested as the 6-month pregnant young woman was readying to undergo an abortion. The woman was then sent to a hospital where she gave birth to a baby who died some hours later.

Morocco bans abortion, except for pregnancies that endanger the mother's life.
