Santiago, Chile, March 15 The plenary session of the Constitutional Convention of Chile, which is responsible for drafting the country's new Magna Carta, approved on Tuesday an article on gender rights and reproductive law defining termination of pregnancy, to draft the final text that will be a referendum This year. With a visa with 108 votes, 39 votes against and 6 abstentions, “Everyone has sexual and reproductive rights, which include, among other things, the right to decide in a free, independent and informed manner about sex, reproduction, pleasure and contraception.” In the second paragraph, the article states that “special attention shall be paid to gender, inclusion and cultural importance, and to ensure the exercise of sexual and reproductive rights without discrimination (...) The endurance of all women and people, pregnancy conditions, spontaneous termination of pregnancy, childbirth and spontaneous and protected motherhood.” “We were given a task after a painful rejection by the Congress of the Republic, which did not take into account the necessary measures that our country would take to establish fundamental rights. Today we are breaking the cycle of exclusion and discrimination in the history of the Constitution. We had to wait 200 years.” Barbara Sepulveda, an existing element of the Communist Party, said. This is a historic vote expected by thousands in South American countries, and is a scene of a strong wave of feminists who have played a leading role across the country in recent years, including the day of protests repeated in all cities at the end of 2019. Legal abortion is a historical requirement for feminist groups in Latin America, where only four states have been criminalized: Argentina, Colombia (up to 24 states), Cuba, Uruguay, Guyana and Mexico. Various studies have shown that by 2017, nearly 70,000 abortions were performed every year in Chile, all of which are hidden. According to data from the Ministry of Health, 1827 legal abortions were registered in Chile between 2018 and 2020, indicating that tens of thousands of women are still terminating their pregnancy illegally.
