Yeah, abortion illegalness is still a problem in some countries.

In Ireland, my country, women are only allowed to get an abortion if they could die from giving birth. Despite this, in 2012, a woman was denied an abortion, and she eventually died. In Peru, abortion is illegal in all cases. Many African countries only allow abortion if the woman could die.

If abortion is denied when the fetus has dead or if the woman could die, then I'm not sure whether they're trying to save the fetus or stop abortion.
