The implementation of abortion bans raises significant concerns as it curtails reproductive rights, potentially jeopardizing women's health and well-being. Such restrictions may lead to increased unsafe and illegal abortion practices, posing serious risks to maternal health, and disproportionately affecting individuals with limited resources or in states with restricted access to reproductive healthcare services.
Access to abortion is also an economic issue because it directly impacts labor market experiences and economic outcomes, affecting decisions about when to have children. Addressing these issues is essential for promoting comprehensive healthcare, safeguarding women's rights, and fostering a nuanced understanding of the implications surrounding abortion bans.

In the context of "The Last Ecstatic Days,"what is the purpose of an impact campaign and how it measures success?
Our impact campaign envisions revitalizing dying into a loving communal experience. We aim to raise awareness about alternative end-of-life options long before they're needed, fostering conversations on home-like care, legacy, caregiver needs, companionship, and community support.
The word "manananggal" comes from the Filipino root word "tanggal," which means to remove or to separate.
According to folklore, a manananggal is said to be a beautiful woman by day. However, during the night, especially on nights of the full moon, it undergoes a gruesome transformation. The creature is believed to have the ability to sever its upper torso from its lower body, sprouting bat-like wings and then flying off to search for prey, typically pregnant women.
