A Piece of News

A piece of news that attracted my attention in the last weeks is the decriminalization of the therapeutic abortion. 
In the last public account of the President Michelle bachelet in 21th of May, she announced the wishes of her government for legislate about the decriminalization of the therapeutic abortion in three cases: pregnancy for rape, pregnancy with risky for the life of the mother and unviability of the fetus. In Chile at present, the abortion is prohibited in all its forms and the candestine abortion are punished with prison. 

The government is the principal prime mover of the reform because they consider the abortion like a public politic about health, but the catholic church and the most conservatives sectors of the society are opossed because they argue that the life begin in the conception. Of course, the principal involved are all the women because they are the people than need to abort. 

This tematic is happening only in Chile, because implicate a legislation of our country. In another countries the abortion is legal in some cases or in the totality. In fact, only seven countries prohibit the abortion and Chile is one of them. 

The discussion about the abortion is very important because this is a topic outstanding in the live of the women. The chance of decide over our bodies must be a right for all us.
