INTRODUCTION

Abortion is the ending of pregnancy by means of eliminating a hatchling

egg or what we called a fetus or embryo before it can even grow and develop in the
uterus. Historically, terminating have been endeavored utilizing herbals, sharp took,
rituals, and other traditional methods from different culture.
Women's admittance to reproductive wellbeing administrations faces difficulties
or outright opposition and through resistance from different—frequently powerful—
sections of Filipino society. While contraception is lawful in the Philippines, until
mounting strain to lessen maternal mortality and horribleness and to battle destitution in
the nation emerged lately, the public authority had shown just powerless help for
admittance to present day contraceptives.
Philippines is one of 6 nations in the world where fetus removal is
completely prohibited. Access to abortion stays limited under the country's reformatory
code, with no unmistakable special cases even in instances of pregnancies imperiling
the life or safety of the women, those subsequent from assault or inbreeding, and those
including fetal disability. In Article 11 of the 1987 Philippine constitution Section 12
states that the State recognizes the Sanctity of the family life and shall protect and
strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution. It shall equally protect
the lifetime of the mother and therefore the lifetime of the unborn from conception.

BODY
In 2012 alone, there was approximately 610,000 initiated fetus removals.
Of this number, around 100,000 abortions brought about hospitalizations, and 1000 died
because of intricacies from dangerous early termination. That is 70 ladies prompting
early termination and 11 hospitalized each hour and three ladies biting the dust each
day. That was in 2012; in view of insights, the quantity of ladies initiating early
termination increments proportionately with the expanding Philippine populace.
Growing up I have always thought about this issue, seeing women being
assaulted, raped, and abused and ended up being pregnant were never really their
choice. They didn’t have a choice at all. I stand with the pro-choice side for I firmly
believe that you have the control of your own body. We have to remove the stigma or
the social construct that abortion is sin.
I'm favorable to early termination on the grounds that having the option to
defer and restrict childbearing is fundamental to female strengthening and equality. A
lady who does not have the way to deal with her fruitfulness comes up short on the way
to deal with her life. Any plans, dreams, desires, duties or responsibilities—regardless of
how significant—have an incredibly large possibility provision worked in: "… until or
except if I get pregnant, in which case what happens next is anyone's guess." Think of
any expert lady you know. She wouldn't be in that job in the event that she wasn't ready
to time and restrict her childbearing. Think about any young lady you realize who
envisions turning into an expert lady. She will not arrive except if she has successful,
dependable intends to deal with her richness. In previous eras, nursing care was given
by nuns and instructors who were old maids, on the grounds that keeping away from
sexual closeness was the lone way ladies could keep away from flighty childbearing as
be opened up to serve their networks in different limits.

CONCLUSIONS
In the event that women and girls can't handle their own bodies,
sexualities, and richness including their entitlement to get to safe fetus removal
administrations and data – they can't practice other common, political, monetary, social
or social rights. Legalizing abortion isn’t just about the chance of getting rid of the fetus.
It is about the rights of a woman─ including our sexual and reproductive health rights.
