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.

Therefore, he justified the claim that abortion under any other circumstances is nothing but murder.

"I want to make it very clear that the Republican Party will fight against any attempt to legalise abortion by demand. We will only support abortion when the mother's life is in danger. Remove this issue by the root, not only treating the symptoms thereof, by means of enforcing and passing laws legalising abortion, because should we allow this, then citizens will be allowed to continue with a promiscuous or criminal lifestyle."
