However, for rape victims, abortion is considered an option that needs to be considered to protect the victim. However, until now there is still legal uncertainty regarding the gestational age limit for abortion for rape victims. The problem formulated is how the law protects victims and the implications of regulatory inequality. Using a normative legal approach, the theoretical study examines human rights, reproductive health, and feminism, which emphasizes the victim's right to choose abortion to reduce suffering. The results of the discussion show the unclear rules on gestational age in the Health Law and PP No. 28 of 2024, which differs from the 14-week limit in the Criminal Code.

Defined as the termination of pregnancy before the fetus can survive outside the womb, abortion in Indonesia is regulated by Health Law No. 36 of 2009, Article 75, which allows the procedure only in cases of medical emergencies and pregnancies resulting from rape.

The research method employed is literature review. The findings indicate that abortion can occur due to various factors such as fear, health issues, socio-economic conditions, and misunderstandings about its consequences. Illegal abortions pose serious risks to women's physical and mental health, including infections, bleeding, emotional trauma, and even death. Medically, abortion may be performed to protect the mother’s life in high-risk pregnancies, such as in cases of uterine cancer or rape. However, from the Christian ethical perspective, abortion is viewed as contrary to God's will, as the fetus is considered a living being that must be protected from conception.
