Beginning with the premise that women are human beings, this chapter explores the impact of restrictive abortion laws on women’s agency within Jamaica’s broader reproductive health context. Despite legal prohibitions under the Offences Against the Person Act (1864), many women resort to unsafe methods to terminate pregnancies. Using data from two focus group discussions in 2013 and abortion monologue stories in 2021, the chapter highlights the disconnect between the law and women’s lived realities. The criminalization of abortion, rooted in colonial legislation and reinforced by the 2011 Constitutional Amendment, not only undermines women’s autonomy but also perpetuates psychological and bodily harm and economic disempowerment. The chapter advocates recognizing women’s humanity and right to reproductive autonomy by creating a framework based on the pillars of moving from harm, to help and heal and concludes with recommendations for legislative reform and the establishment of supportive services, emphasizing the urgent need to honour the humanity of women and to break the cycle of harm by listening to and learning from the experiences of those who have terminated pregnancies.
