n aborsie kan ook na die 20ste week plaasvind as n dokter, in oorleg met n geregistreerde vroedvrou, glo dat die voortgesette swangerskap die vrou se lewe in gevaar sou stel, tot wanvorming van die fetus sou lei of die risiko van besering aan die fetus sou inhou.

an abortion can also take place after the 20th week if a doctor, after consultation with a registered midwife, believes that the continued pregnancy would endanger the woman’s life, result in a severe malformation of the foetus or pose a risk of injury to the foetus.
