Abstract
On February 26, 1993, while Bosnia-Herzegovina was still in the midst of a civil war, Bishop Vasilije Kacavenda from a Bosnian diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church (hereafter, SPC2), who was, at the time, a member of the parliament of the Republika Srpska, submitted to the parliament a bill requesting a ban on abortion. At the time, the Serbian Orthodox Church did not officially support the bill. Moreover, in their comments for the media, Church officials represented it as an individual initiative of this particular bishop.3
