Sierra Leone's President Julius Maada Bio has backed a bill to unban abortion, among other sexual health measures. 鈥淎t a time when sexual reproductive rights for the women are being overturned, Sierra Leone can once again lead with progressive reforms,鈥� the president said.

But religious groups have thwarted previous efforts to pass similar laws. So what are the chances that the bill will pass this time? Information Minister Rahman Swaray has been speaking to the 麻豆社's Umaru Fofana, and says the president "does not showboat" but means what he says.
