Abstract
South Africans often proudly proclaim that our Constitution is one of
the most progressive in the world. Yet if you ask most South Africans
how they really feel about gay rights, abortion and the death penalty,
their answers, more often than not, contradict the values enshrined
in the Constitution. (Ahmed 2014)
