Central African Republic
The Law Relating to Reproductive Health 2006 permits abortion to preserve the life and health of the woman and in cases of rape, incest, and fetal impairment. The Penal Code 2010 permits abortion where the woman’s life is at risk (without explicit mention of health) and in cases of rape, incest, fetal impairment, or when a pregnant minor is in a state of distress. The map recognizes all these grounds but it is unclear if one law supersedes another.
