Abstract

The debate regarding the abortion of prospective children by victims of rape or what is known as Abortus provocateurs is a controversial matter as if this word is taboo to be combined, apart from that in Indonesia itself this is a very taboo thing and is even considered very reprehensible to do, where Indonesia itself has regulated regulations regarding this matter, but in the words regulated, there is a dualism, namely between defending the rights of the prospective baby and overriding the rights of the prospective mother, in Article 31 paragraph (1) PP 61/2014 that abortion can only be carried out based on indications of a medical emergency. It can be seen that this regulation only allows women to abort their future babies for certain reasons and circumstances, but is this fair? For this reason, we are reviewing these legal regulations to provide further interpretation and new analysis regarding how these regulations should apply and whether these regulations regulate the rights of both parties, especially in Indonesian law itself. This analysis uses a descriptive approach to provide a systematic explanation or view regarding abortions carried out by rape survivors. Even though there are pros and cons in this case, the government has ratified the regulation Article 31 paragraph (1) PP 61/2014 that abortion can only be carried out based on indications of a medical emergency and pregnancy due to rape. which prohibits rape survivors from aborting their baby or future babies.Keywords: Rape; Victim; Abortion; Abortus Provocatus.
