Grey Chile and non-profit organization Miles Corporation have unveiled a series of shocking ads that show how far Chilean women will go to self-induce abortion.

The tutorial-style ads feature women demonstrating extreme methods like colliding with a fire hydrant, falling down a flight of stairs, and stepping in front of a car.

Abortion is outlawed in the South American country, resulting in thousands of women performing illegal therapeutic abortions. It is estimated that there are over 150,000 such cases a year, with many women dying in the process.

The ads were created for a campaign to raise awareness of this issue, and to persuade the Chilean government to approve the Therapeutic Abortion Bill, which was passed in parliament last February by President Michelle Bachelet.
