Does it really matter whether women have access to safe and legal abortion services? Women in Latin America are learning the answer to this question in dramatically different ways.
The sad part about Mexico city is what women are put thru to get a LEGAL abortion. More than Less are abused, discriminated, and flat out refused. The hospital workers just put the women thru the infamous red tape until the women are no longer of ”legal” term..Thus many women are using back street butchers and dangerous herbal and ”witch” cures to abort.. I personally think the 2007 seems high with almost 7500 abortions.
depending on who wins the Presidential election here,(if McCain wins) womens rights may be greatly affected and legal abortion laws could be overturned.
I had never really thought of that until I read it in a post on IB. It could be a historical Presidential election for your citizens, any way you look at it.
