It is legal in Afghanistan to have an abortion only when the pregnancy might endanger the mother's health. Other cases (such as rape or request by mother) is not acceptable. In the Islam beliefs, it is forbidden to kill a person, but it doesn't say any specific details about abortion. Because of this, there are various interpretations made by different countries. Therefore, I think that Afghanistan thought the lives of the mothers were important and to make them give birth with the sacrifice of their lives would make doctors a murderer. In result, they decided to make it legal to have abortions only if the process of giving birth might affect the mother's life.
