The National Council members still expressed reservations regarding the proposal to legalise same-sex marriage in Namibia, citing traditional norms where such unions were not historically recognised. 

The Republican Party (RP) has vowed to fight tooth and nail against any attempt to legalise abortion in Namibia.

The Party's president, Henk Mudge, speaking at a media briefing, said they will only support abortion when the mother's life is in imminent danger.
