Summary
"Abortion is illegal in the Dominican Republic in all circumstances, even when the life of the pregnant woman or girl is in danger. The country's total abortion ban has devastating consequences. Women and girls facing unplanned or unwanted pregnancies--including those resulting from rape or incest, or when the fetus will not survive--are forced to choose between clandestine abortion or continuing their pregnancies, even if they do not want to and even if they face serious health risks, including death."--Page 1.
