Quick Question?
The question should be, has it ever been illegal?The Voice said:I was just wondering, when did abortions become legal in DR?
I never knew it to be illegal, but I know very little about the country before arriving here.
Isn't it more of a Catholic church thing?

I'm not sure, the only reason why I asked was because I saw an old thread where DR1 members were stating that abortions were illegal. This thread was in 2001.
Threads as recent as last year seem to indicate that abortions are illegal, albeit regularly performed.The Voice said:I'm not sure, the only reason why I asked was because I saw an old thread where DR1 members were stating that abortions were illegal. This thread was in 2001.
If you want a definitive answer, you may want to re-post your question in the legal forum.

Thanks for the advice. Thank You.
I always thought it was illegal unless for therapeutic reasons for the health of the woman. This seems to be confirmed by Fabio Guzman in the following thread.

In common practice, those with money have no problem finding a doctor to preform a therapeutic D & C.
BTW- Marco I'm not that old.

In the DR Southwest, there are local and foreign ONGs that work with public clinics and hospitals, that refer women for thereapeutic D & Cs and family planning, at no cost.

Thanks for the link, but this thread was in 2002. Could the law have changed by now? I have heard people say that it is legal, and I now people who have done it. But I'm not sure if they had an abortion legally or illegally. I am getting mixed reports.
Just go to a chinese store and get you some self abortion inducing tea.The Voice said:Thanks for the link, but this thread was in 2002. Could the law have changed by now?

But only get this tea if it is less than 9 weeks.
I am against abortion after 9 weeks.
I know of a girl from England who got herself in "trouble" with a married man and ended up getting an abortion here in Puerto Plata last October.
She seemed to be proud of it for some reason?
I recall that she said it cost her 6500 RD. As far as the legal aspect, I don't know.

It is illegal but many woman go to a back alley to get it done and many, many have died. Basically they bleed to death. In this situation, two lives are terminated by the action of one who tries to correct her preventable mistake.
