our comments on the government's decision to legalize abortion for rape victims as the Health Ministry prepares technical guidance for the implementation of the regulation amid public debate.
I agree because it is a good and logical decision.
Those who oppose it should absorb the cost and liabilities of the children who are born.
Ning M Widjaja
The question is this: how do the police confirm that someone has really been raped?
Every woman can say that she has been raped and then kill her baby without feeling guilty. This is a ridiculous law.
Bi Goez
Of course, any form of birth control should be allowed.
Taco de Vries
The government has made this decision. I hope that they will not only talk, but act.
Rainer Virya Mangala
In this case, I think the government is making a wise decision.
Giggy Gailea
I agree with the government's policy to legalize abortion for rape victims.

This subject will be a matter of public debate forever. Among other reasons, it goes against the beliefs of some religions.
The fact that someone is a rape victim should be confirmed by a court order and the medical practitioner who carries out the abortion should be an appointed and registered gynecologist.
