Cámara de Diputados de Chile aprueba proyecto de ley que permitiría el aborto

(COMUNICADO
DE PRENSA) Hoy
día la Cámara de Diputados de Chile aprobó la votación del proyecto de ley que
permitiría a las mujeres acceder al aborto legal y seguro en los casos en que
el embarazo suponga un riesgo para la vida de la mujer, en los casos de
violencia sexual y en los casos en que existan malformaciones fetales
incompatibles con la vida extrauterina.


El
proyecto de ley que fue introducido por la Presidenta Michelle Bachelet en
enero de 2015 deberá enfrentarse ante una nueva votación en el Senado, antes de
que éste sea firmado por la Presidenta Bachelet. El primero de marzo la
Comisión Constitucional de la Cámara de Diputados dio su visto bueno al proyecto.
Por su parte la Comisión de Salud Chilena aprobó el proyecto de ley en
septiembre de 2015.


Chile
es uno de los seis países en la región que prohíbe el aborto en todos los
casos. Actualmente, cerca de 2,000 abortos inseguros ocurren cada año en Chile
de acuerdo con el Guttmacher Institute.


Lilian
Sepúlveda, Vice Presidenta del Programa Legal Global del Centro de Derechos
Reproductivos afirmó:


“Por
casi tres décadas las mujeres Chilenas han puesto su salud y vida en riesgo en
los casos en que las mujeres deciden terminar con sus embarazos, esta situación
debe parar.”


“La
Cámara de Diputados ha tomado un paso crucial para dar fin a la prohibición
legal que prohíbe el aborto alineando sus leyes junto con otros treinta y cinco
países en el mundo que permiten el procedimiento”.


“Es
momento de que el Senado siga el liderazgo de la Presidente Bachelet y de la
Cámara de Diputados aprobando el histórico proyecto de ley que garantizará la
salud y los derechos humanos de las mujeres en Chile”.


En
1931, el Código Sanitario legalizó el aborto en casos excepcionales, sin
embargo en 1989 este servicio médico fue prohibido de manera absoluta. De
acuerdo con la información más reciente del ,Ministerio de Salud de Chile, en 2008 más de 33,000 mujeres
fueron hospitalizadas debido a complicaciones por aborto.


En
junio de 2015, el Comité de las Naciones Unidas sobre Derechos Económicos,
Sociales y Culturales (Comité
DESC
) hizo un llamado al Estado chileno para que agilizara la aprobación
del proyecto de ley que permitiría el aborto en casos excepcionales. El Comité
DESC es el órgano encargado de las Naciones Unidas de vigilar el cumplimiento
del Pacto de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales, un tratado
internacional que obliga a los Estados Parte a garantizar los derechos
económicos, sociales y culturales de todas las personas.


En
un reporte elaborado por el Centro de Derechos Reproductivos para el Comité
DESC, la organización argumentó cómo la criminalización absoluta del aborto y
el acceso restringido a la anticoncepción de emergencia en Chile, viola los
derechos de las mujeres a la salud, a la no-discriminación y la igualdad
sustancial.


De
acuerdo con un reporte publicado por el Centro de Derechos Reproductivos, en
los últimos 20 años, 35 países han reformado sus leyes restrictivas para
permitir el aborto legal y seguro – una tendencia legal que ha permitido un
progreso significativo en lo que refiere al reconocimiento de los derechos de
las mujeres y la protección de sus vidas, lo cual incluye la reducción de las
tasas de mortalidad materna en los casos de abortos inseguros. El reporte fue
lanzado junto con el Mapa de ,Leyes sobre Aborto en el Mundo ,– una de las
herramientas más comprensivas sobre las leyes de aborto en todo el mundo.
