The TRO on the Implanon also has the same effect, as it deprives women free access to the commodity. In NCR for example, women who are informal settlers prefer Implanon with its effectivity lasting for three (3) years, however, the TRO prevents them from obtaining free Implanon shots. With the TRO in place, government facilities are prohibited from dispensing Implanon and while private clinics and CSOs can continue dispensing and administering Implanon, they do so for a fee – an amount that women in the informal sector and from the urban poor cannot afford. On the absolute prohibition of abortion and the absence of emergency contraception, the submissions from Center for Reproductive Rights and EngendeRights have made clear that such polices mostly impact the poor, marginalized, and vulnerable women. The prohibition casts a stigma on women who’ve suffered from abortion and in effect results in the denial of post abortion care which the RPRH law assures.

Their absence limits the autonomy of women and girls over their bodies and result to unwanted pregnancies as a result of sexual violence. On the proliferation of ordinances criminalizing and penalizing traditional and indigenous home births, the women who mostly bear the brunt of these measures were found to be Moro and Indigenous women and women who live in geographically inaccessible and disadvantaged areas. While these ordinance were adopted to encourage facility based delivery and to address increase of maternal mortality, the effect of the measure has been discriminatory to Moro and Indigenous women, it has also resulted to the imposition of penalities and criminalization of women from GIDA areas for the failings of the State specifically for the State’s failure to bring health centers and facilities to far flung areas and to women who need them most. The National Inquiry documented instances where maternal deaths resulted during transit and due to the distance of facilities and the fear/refusal of traditional and indigenous birth attendants to assist home deliveries. The Commission documented accounts of traditional birth attendants refusing to help women because of fear of imprisonment and there are submissions of IP women who were forced to travel 26
