Abortion Legal Battle Continues in Kenya
High court decision on abortion access was deemed to distort constitutional balance.
Restored penal code provisions require accused to prove they did not perform illegal abortions.
Center for Reproductive Rights called the decision a 'setback' and plans to appeal to Supreme Court.
Abortion remains prohibited except for life-saving emergencies, with 792,000 procedures reported in 2023-2024.
