    This document argues for the legalization of abortion in the Philippines. It notes that criminalizing abortion does not stop it from occurring, and instead puts women's lives at risk, as attempting to terminate a pregnancy illegally has killed over 1,000 women and caused problems for 90,000 more in the country. Legalizing abortion would allow women, especially those who are financially unstable, unprepared, victims of rape or incest, or too young, to make choices about their reproductive rights and healthcare that do not endanger their lives. It claims that denying women these rights is insulting and that legalizing abortion is about choice rather than promotion.
