Abortion Inquiry Reveals Demands for 100,000 Lira for Out-of-Bounds Procedures

In Zonguldak, Turkey, a disturbing case has emerged involving a Gynecology Specialist, Dr. Ferhat T., and 10 other individuals accused of demanding substantial sums of money for abortion procedures. Reports indicate that the doctor allegedly charged between 10,000 and 80,000 Turkish lira for abortions performed within the legal timeframe. For procedures sought outside these legal limits, the demand reportedly escalated to 100,000 lira.

The investigation has led to the detention of 11 people, three of whom are women. These individuals have since been transferred to the courthouse to face legal proceedings. The details of the case, as revealed by the source, paint a picture of potential exploitation within the healthcare system, where vulnerable patients may have been subjected to financial extortion for essential medical services.
