At any rate, such instance is one of the many reasons why some groups are advocating the decriminalization of abortion in the Philippines, thus making it a norm much less. The questions that linger for me, however, are these: What power can abortion give women against any evil their way? Is murdering a vulnerable, potential human person empowering women? This, however, is seen through a perspective which in itself is degrading: a human person is reduced as a mere object to existing economic and political systems. Abortion is a "human right," they say.
