Article 22 of the Constitution of Uganda states that all Ugandan citizens have the right to life. No abortion is allowed except for that permitted by law.
By law all PWDs have the right to live just like any other citizen of Uganda. If you become disabled you have the same rights as you have always had. If a PWD is seen as a curse or a burden that diminishes their right to live life to the full. The right to life is about the right to live with dignity and respect.
