What Is
Abortion?
Abortion is when a pregnancy
is ended so that it doesn't result in
the birth of a child. Sometimes it is
called 'termination of pregnancy'.
Around 45% of all abortions are
unsafe, of which 97% take place in
developing countries.
What Is Pro-
Choice?The right to choose abortion is
essential to ensuring a woman can decide
for herself if, when and with whom to
start or grow a family. The Supreme
Court’s landmark 1973 decision in Roe v.
Wade that affirmed abortion as a
constitutional right for all was supposed to
be the beginning of the fight for women’s
equality and autonomy, not the end.

Personalities who are Pro - Life
Time Tebow
Football star Tim Tebow is an open and proud Christian who revealed his mom was nearly forced to abort her
pregnancy with him due to medical complications. “There was a lot of craziness with my mom’s pregnancy
with me,” he said. “She decided to trust God and not what the doctors were saying.”

Justin Bieber
“I really don’t believe in abortion. It’s like killing a baby.” At the time, the singer was widely criticized for his
pro-life stance, especially because of his comments regarding rape. “Well, I think that’s really sad, but
everything happens for a reason. I don’t know how that would be a reason. I guess I haven’t been in that
position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.” His thoughts on abortion in Rolling Stone back in 2012.

Celine Dion

devasted when she found out she was pregnant, so she went to her priest to see if she should get an
abortion. “He told her that she had no right to go against nature,” Dion explained. “So I have to admit that in
a way, I owe my life to that priest.

Countries where abortion is legal and
illegaL
Abortion laws vary widely among countries and territories, and have changed over
time. Such laws range from abortion being freely available on request, to regulation or
restrictions of various kinds, to outright prohibition in all circumstances. Many countries
and territories that allow abortion have gestational limits for the procedure depending on
the reason; with the majority being up to 12 weeks for abortion on request, up to 24 weeks
for rape, incest, or socioeconomic reasons, and more for fetal impairment or risk to the
woman's health or life. As of 2022, countries that legally allow abortion on request or for
socioeconomic reasons comprise about 60% of the world's population
Abortion in Philippines
For over a century, abortion has been criminalized in the Philippines.
The criminal provisions on abortion do not contain any exceptions allowing
abortion, including to save the life of the pregnant woman or to protect her
health. Abortion was criminalized through the Penal Code of 1870 under
Spanish colonial rule, and the criminal provisions were incorporated into the
Revised Penal Code passed in 1930 under U.S. occupation of the Philippines.
The criminalization of abortion has not prevented abortion, but instead has
made the procedure unsafe and potentially deadly for the over half a million
women each year who try to terminate their pregnancies. Because of the
lack of access to safe abortion, Filipino women with life threatening
pregnancies have no choice but to risk their lives, either through unsafe
abortion or through continuation of high-risk pregnancies.
Abortion in Philippines
Poor women are particularly vulnerable to unsafe abortion and its complications,
as they face barriers in obtaining effective means of family planning and lack access to
reproductive health services. Common physical complications that arise from the use of
such crude and dangerous methods include hemorrhage, sepsis, peritonitis, and trauma to
the cervix, vagina, uterus, and abdominal organs. The criminal abortion ban has
stigmatized the procedure in the medical community, so that women face tremendous
barriers and significant abuse when they seek treatment for abortion complications. Filipino
women who seek treatment for complications from unsafe abortion have repeatedly
reported that the stigma around abortion means that healthcare workers are unwilling to
provide care or only treat women after “punishing” women who have undergone abortions
by threatening to report them to the police, harassing women verbally and physically, or
delaying care. Filipino women who have undergone unsafe abortions for health reasons
report that healthcare workers have not been sympathetic to their situation, but instead
continue to abuse and threaten them.
Rights and Organization
Access to safe, legal abortion is a matter of human rights.
Authoritative interpretations of international human rights law establish that
denying women, girls, and other pregnant people access to abortion is a
form of discrimination and jeopardizes a range of human rights. United
Nations human rights treaty bodies regularly call for governments to
decriminalize abortion in all cases and to ensure access to safe, legal
abortion in certain circumstances at a minimum. Human Rights Watch
believes that reproductive rights are human rights, including the right to
access to abortion. States have the obligation to provide women, girls, and
other pregnant people with access to safe and legal abortion as part of their
core human rights responsibilities.
