Cavite Rep. Francis Barzaga is seeking the legalization of abortion in the country, but only for rape victims.
“I seek to legalize abortion for rape victims,” said Barzaga in a Facebook post.
“It’s disheartening to see people losing their futures due to pregnancies caused by sexual assault,” he added.
Abortion in the country is prohibited under the Revised Penal Code.
