CORRECTION Dominican Republic Abortion Ban — FILE - Rosa Hernández shows a photo of her late daughter Rosaura Almonte in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Dec. 10, 2023. Hernández asked for an exception for her daughter to get an abortion in order to use chemotherapy as her leukemia treatment, but was denied because that would put the fetus at risk of death in the Dominican Republic where abortion is criminalized without exceptions. Both her daughter and daughter's 3-week-old fetus died in 2012. CORRECTION: Corrects from 13-week-old fetus to 3-week-old fetus.
