Section 23 of the RH Law, which  presents the list of prohibited acts, is worth quoting in full:     Section 23.​ ​Prohibited Acts. ​ – The following acts are prohibited:  (a) Any health care service provider, whether public or private, who shall:  (1) Knowingly withhold information or restrict the dissemination thereof, and/or intentionally  provide incorrect information regarding programs and services on reproductive health  including the right to informed choice and access to a full range of legal, medically-safe,  non-abortifacient and effective family planning methods;  (2) Refuse to perform legal and medically-safe reproductive health procedures on any person of  legal age on the ground of lack of consent or authorization of the following persons in the  following instances:  (i) Spousal consent in case of married persons: Provided, That in case of disagreement, the  decision of the one undergoing the procedure shall prevail; and  (ii) Parental consent or that of the person exercising parental authority in the case of abused  minors, where the parent or the person exercising parental authority is the respondent,  accused or convicted perpetrator as certified by the proper prosecutorial office of the  court.
