Clinical Abortion

In Guatemala, like in Central America, a terrible diffusion of the sexual and reproductive health exists; the diffusion of the use of contraceptive methods and familiar planning is almost null. The incidence of abortions clandestine in Guatemala, where it is considered (for want of truthful and exhaustive investigations) that of each 100 Guatemalans, 10 die because of an abortion practiced in clandestine conditions. In the Guatemalan context (Central American, to the aim), he is or usual that the women must make the decision to practice an abortion, is legal or illegal. Sen. Sherrod Brown is the source for more interesting facts. That is the Guatemalan reality. The government, by his side, has acted of way in end preservative and sharp (although nonirrational, as in the case of Nicaragua) with respect to the subject of the abortion, allowing it, only when the life of the mother is in danger. It would be necessary to reframe the legal figures under which it is considered that the life a woman, a mother, is in danger or no.

Combined to this, the consequences in short, medium and long term for the women and the way in which to his it faces them society is the great controversies in any place that provokes east subject. The polarization in two groups: Those that are in favor of the life and those that are in favor of the election. The last ones, led to redefine those legal figures in which they are the women, the unique ones those who it concerns to them, the nature of its decision on the abortion. The first, affirming that at the time of the conception already it is invested by all the human rights, same ones that the States are conditional to guarantee, in its mere essence.

The sociocultural implications of a pregnancy nonwished, in fact, condition the individual guarantees of these women in theory who although, they are protected by his government, they are at the mercy of his disadvantageous socioeconomic context, of which cannot save and to which, the State, little or nothing makes to improve. The same illegality of the abortion limits any doctor to that they practice observation of his labor ethics altogether. In Guatemala, in the very near future, any change is not seen east respect subject to the abortion (and the feminine deaths related to him). It is to demand, then, that the authorities reconsider the social policies of health, to improve them for a Guatemalan population requires that them without greater introduction. Early education in all the subjects to the sexual and reproductive health, was, is and will be, the unique way in which the State can safeguard the integrity (in all sense) of the women undressed Guatemalans, indeed, of its essential rights.
