Is abortion permitted in Cuba?
A. Abortion is allowed in Cuba, but the Ministry of Public Health goes to great lengths to ensure that women do not consider pregnancy intervention as a way of stopping the birth of unwanted children. The Cuba Women Federation (FMC), an organization for women over 14 years of age, fights for women’s rights to equality in Cuba. The organization actively targets adolescents for sexual education which includes the right of the woman, with the help of her partner, to make the choice of whether or not to abort the fetus.
