This normative juridical research scrutinizes Indonesia's legal framework surrounding abortion, juxtaposing the criminalization of abortion with the nuanced provisions of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning health. The study focuses on Article 42, which permits abortion under specific indications such as fetal viability challenges and pregnancies resulting from rape. The primary legal materials are sourced from statutory regulations, with a supplementary examination of secondary legal materials. The research reveals the legal complexities surrounding abortion in Indonesia, shedding light on the delicate balance between criminal sanctions and legal protections. The implications of the findings extend to the broader discourse on reproductive rights and the evolving legal landscape.
