Abstract/Summary

Stories that deal with controversies about or against life capture the attention and interests of people, and abortion is certainly among the top divisive topics in our society. One of the many reasons why the legality of abortion has always been retained as an argument in society is because it can be seen as a tool for population control.

Since in the Philippines the lower classes are considered as the majority, there is a notion that if the population is regulated, lesser people will suffer the age old problem of poverty.

As a largely Christian dominated nation, abortion is almost unanimously condemned and considered as taboo in the country. In fact, under the Philippine Constitution, abortion is illegal and any form of this act is punishable by law.

This feature, Kun Untani Man (If Ever) attempts to create an idea of a society wherein abortion is legalized. It will try to tackle a particular possibility after abortion has long been legalized in a society through Timawa and Dara's lives.
