The claim is in line with the document presented on Wednesday, the Center for Legal and Social Studies (CELS) with extensive legal arguments, from a human rights perspective, to compel the Argentine state to advance the decriminalization and legalization of early abortion.
The letter, signed by the executive director of Amnesty International Argentina, Mariela Belski, notes that “many of the human rights arguments used by the government to lead the way and promote policies as equal marriage laws and gender identity, to name some of the more recent, converge and agree one with a policy of absolute decriminalization of abortion “.
In April 2014, he turned to present in the Chamber of Deputies the draft voluntary interruption of pregnancy (IVE) that drives the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe and Free Abortion, over sixty signatures of legislators in a vast political spectrum, the ruling and opposition . But the debate in Congress will not open due to lack of political will. The Baldwin expects some presidential signal to enable the discussion. But the issue internally divided to blocks. It is the fifth time you enter the project in the House, after losing parliamentary state without treatment, since 2007, when it was introduced as an initiative of civil society.
The letter of AI sent to the President further recalls that in August 2013, Argentina and other 38 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, to discuss the regional agenda on Population and Development, acknowledged that the criminalization of abortion leads to an increase in female deaths related to pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period and cases of women who left with serious consequences for their reproductive lives. And that policy of criminalizing the voluntary termination of pregnancy does not reduce the number of abortions. AI noted that the States of the region agreed at that time “changing laws, regulations, strategies and public policies on abortion to protect the life and health of women and adolescents.”
” The offense criminalizing abortion says the letter violates the right to equality and non-discrimination, protected by the Constitution and international treaties. Indeed, lack of access to health services and abortion affects only women as a group and impacts unequally and differentiated those who do not have the financial resources to afford private health services. So are women, especially poor women, which have their rights violated. “” Decriminalize abortion is a human rights imperative, “concluded AI, as published page 12. (APFDigital)
