Chile: major step for women’s right to abortion

31 Aug 2017


In Chile, the processing of a bill aimed at legalizing abortion in three cases — when the woman’s life is at risk, when the fetus is non-viable and when a pregnancy results from rape — was halted when the Lower House has not reached the number of votes required to ratify the text and the legislative process was delayed (check here and here). But in August 2th, the Lower House has approved the bill as it has been adopted by the Senate (here and here). On August 28th, the Constitutional Tribunal  decided that  the new law does not infringe the Chilean  Constitution.
