A deputy from Justice and Development Party (AKP), Nursuna Memecan, has said that the current situation with regard to abortion is OK, and that banning abortion would bring huge damage, daily Hürriyet reported today.  

"If there is an increase in Caesarean sections, we should raise the awareness of the public about the benefits of normal delivery. We should also raise awareness about the reasons and consequences of abortion ... If abortion is banned, it is not going to end the practice, but it will continue in illegal ways," Memecan said
