MANILA, Philippines — Should victims of incest and rape have the option to get an abortion? Presidential aspirants interviewed by talk show host Boy Abunda so far are not closed to the proposal. 

 

For presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., a law may be enacted to give access victims of sexual crimes access to legal and safe abortion. Abortion is illegal in the Philippines, although lack of access to safe procedures sometimes pushes women to try to get them through illicit clinics or by taking drugs and herbal concoctions.

 

"I think for very severe cases," Marcos told Abunda in a one-on-one interview that aired Tuesday night. He added he agrees with abortion for severe cases "because we want to save the lives of people, we want to save the lives of women."
