In Indonesia, where an alarming two million illegal abortions occur annually, the word "abortion" carries
weighty negative connotations, largely rooted in religious beliefs. But here's a pressing question we must
confront. Are we allowing these negative connotations to overshadow the crucial fact that abortion is, at its
core, a health intervention intricately tied to women's choices and their autonomy over their bodies?

While the prevailing religious sentiments attach stigma to abortion, the reality is that many women, driven by
circumstances often beyond their control, resort to concealed and perilous procedures. Women in Indonesia,
out of desperation, often find themselves ingesting unsafe substances or undergoing harmful abortive
massages—methods born out of the shadows created by legal restrictions. These unsafe procedures are a
threat to the women’s health and survival.

Adding to this alarming scenario is the data from the World Health Organization, revealing that unsafe abortion
accounts for 14% of maternal deaths in Southeast Asia. In regions of Southeast Asia with highly restrictive
abortion laws, including Indonesia, this figure rises to a staggering 16%. These statistics underline the urgent
need to reassess our approach to reproductive rights, recognizing that unsafe practices pose a significant threat
to women's lives.
