Vatican City is one of five countries worldwide where abortion is illegal (the others being Malta, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, and Nicaragua ), as the state adheres to the Canon Law of the Roman Catholic Church. Cannon 1398 states that abortion procedures whose direct purpose is to destroy an embryo, blastocyst, zygote or foetus is morally unacceptable. However, in accordance with the principle of double effect, in the rare cases of indirect abortion, such as when, in an ectopic pregnancy, the fallopian tube is removed, or in cases of ovarian cancer. In these cases the procedure is aimed only at preserving the woman's life, and the death of the foetus, although foreseen, is not willed either as an end or as a means for obtaining the intended effect.
