Is abortion legal in Dominican Republic?

Abortion is illegal under all circumstances including rape, incest, life-threatening pregnancies, or fetal anomalies.

Abortion is illegal in the Dominican Republic under all circumstances, even when the life of the pregnant woman or girl is at risk, according to the country's Penal Code [3]. Women and girls can be imprisoned for up to two years, and healthcare providers face 5 to 20 years in prison for performing abortions.

This legal stigma pushes abortion underground, putting lives at risk and overwhelming hospitals with complications from unsafe procedures [2].
