Abstract

Abortion is a controversial issue involving legal, health, moral, and social aspects in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the legal regulations governing abortion in the Criminal Code and the Health Law. In the Criminal Code, abortion is regulated in Articles 299 to 304 which generally prohibit abortion with criminal penalties for the perpetrator and parties involved. Meanwhile, Health Law Number 36 of 2009 provides certain exceptions that allow abortion under special conditions, such as to save the mother's life or in cases of pregnancy due to rape, which are further regulated in Government Regulation Number 61 of 2014 concerning Reproductive Health. This study found inconsistencies and potential conflicts between the provisions of the Criminal Code and the Health Law, especially regarding the definition, requirements, and procedures for carrying out abortion.
