Clandestine Abortion
This photographs made in 2005, show women (with changed names for their own legal protection) who in had abortions while it was still ilegal, which made them not only at risk to their own health but also facing criminal charges and the risk of spending time in prison.
10 years after the laws were changed, the new law is considered a success, with 15% less abortions made than in 2007, making Portugal the country in Europe with the less abortions performed by thousand born babies.
