1. Introduction
9bortion is a ter/ of t3e deat3 of fetus in wo/an@s wo/b. ,3ere is no /ore e?#lanation of t3is case in Law, but
based on t3e ter/ of abortion it /eans to abort or so/et3ing t3at /a=e it aborted w3ic3 /eans fall or fail. So,
#regnancy abortion /eans aborting t3e #regnancy intentionally or /a=ing t3e fetus failed to be ali1e ":usa
Perdana=usu/a, *&)44*&2$. 9n abortion is done to a fetus w3ic3 is not viable yet and it is still in t3e wo/an@s
wo/b.
0ntil t3ese days, abortion still e/erges #ro and contradiction in t3e world, es#ecially based on t3e 1iew
of religion, nor/, et3ics, and /oral. Aased on /oral 1iew, an abortion /eans to ta=e t3e fetus intentionally and
it will cause t3e deat3 of t3e fetus, w3ic3 3a##ens since t3e conce#tion #rocess until t3e end of its birt3.

, partus immaturus is t3e birt3 of t3e infant before its ti/e. ,3e contradiction of t3ese

li/ited on t3e abortion based on et3ics and /oral #ers#ecti1es related to t3e certainty of abortion in t3e Law
#roduct.
,3e :edical 6t3ics 5ode of Indonesia "C'.6CI$ and Indonesian 5ri/inal 5ode "C0;P$ #ro3ibit an

obser1ed based on general et3ics, and it is also related to t3e et3ics of .octoral #rofession, because ,3e Law on
;ealt3 2!!& only deter/ines t3e doctors w3o are allowed to do t3e abortion.
9n abortion w3ic3 is done intentionally (abortus provocatus) can be legal or illegal de#ends on ,3e
Law of a country w3ere t3ose Law regulates t3is case. 9n abortion t3at is done intentionally because of /edical

can be categorized as a cri/e (abortus provocatus criminalis)! besides, t3ere is also =nown an abortion w3ic3 is
done because of social reason.
"bortus provocatus meicalis is stated t3at it is legal in +rance and Pa=istanB abortion because of social
reason is legal in Swedia, 6ngland, and Eugosla1iaB

w3ile Indonesia stated t3at abortus provocatus meicalis is

/orality is a fait3 and a
s#iritual attitude, and it is not only a t3ing t3at is related to t3e way we ada#t oursel1es to t3e world, not only t3e
State rules, custo/s or religion, so it can be said t3at obeying t3e rules does not guarantee t3e <uality of /oral.

3. Result and iscussion

,3e #ro and contradiction of abortion in t3e world were started w3en t3ere were t3e differences of o#inions in

In t3is case t3ere will be two o#tions, sa1ing t3e

t3is c3oice is t3e rig3t decision based on /oral and et3ics 1iew, t3e c3oice is su##orted because t3e /ot3er is t3e
one w3o li1e longer t3an t3e fetus itself so t3at@s w3y t3e /ot3er 3a1e rig3t to li1e /ore t3an t3e fetus.
If we sacrifice t3e e?#ectant /ot3er it /eans t3at we ta=e t3e li1ing rig3t of 3er indirectly. ,3e e?a/#le

J3ile an abortion w3ic3 is done because t3e fetus suffered fro/ se1ere genetic diseases and congenital
