Women in the Philippine live under one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world. The Philippine criminal ban on abortion contains no clear exceptions, which means that women are unable to terminate a pregnancy even when their life of health is severely threatened. the ban has further created an environment of stigma and fear, resulting in the abuse and discrimination of women who seek medical treatment for post abortion complications.
