Abortion on-line in I-Witness

MANILA, Philippines - In the third installment of the I-Witness’ Black Market Special, Kara David (photo) presents a shocking documentary on the growing abortion industry in the Internet. Kara discovers that aside from abortion drugs being sold on-line, appointments with abortionists can now be made easily via chat rooms and websites.

Kara meets Peter, not his real name, who admits his girlfriend Alice underwent an abortion through a website that carries out abortion procedures. Peter divulges the whole process in detail of how they made the on-line transaction.

After exchanging cell phone numbers with an agent, the couple was given a schedule for the abortion procedure. Peter and Alice met up with the agent and were brought to a house, converted into an abortion clinic, in the middle of a squatters’ area in Quezon City. Inside, they discovered that aside from them, there were other girls scheduled for abortion that day.

The show airs tomorrow midnight on GMA 7.
