By Mariana Carbajal
The Baldwin is promoting in the Senate an amendment to the Penal Code

(See separate article), three senators of the Front for Victory and two
Tierra del Fuego, allied to the ruling party, submitted a draft
clarifies a law that permits broad interpretation to abort

to legalize abortion. "Argentines owe a
discussion on abortion. We could take the example of Spain, "he said
Fixed. But immediately, he said, should clarify the scope
Article 86, paragraph 1 and 2, which defines the permissions for

article for anyone from its ideological position can prevent

integral as a complete state of physical, mental and social
and not merely the absence of disease."
2. If the woman needs medical treatment and this was
contraindicated during pregnancy. This permit is inspired by the
case of Ana Maria Acevedo, the young 20 years Santa Fe, which had
three children, and died May 17, 2007, after being denied

3. If the pregnancy was the result of a sexual relationship
spoiled or indecent assault committed on a woman. In
these cases, it requires that there be criminal charges.
The initiative states that the danger health or life of the
woman should "be supported by the opinion of a registered professional
of health, other than the practice or direct intervention." In
any case, he says, will require the opinion of an "Ethics Committee."
The non-punishable abortions be performed in utilities
no later than three days from your order. The project envisages
conscientious objection, which must be ordered by writing
. But it clear that not be "institutional", as
"the authorities of public health institutions should ensure
physical and human resources for the exercise of the right
this law gives women "to do so in a
within three" will be considered to fall within the grounds
Article 248 of the Penal Code, which punishes failure

The project bears the signatures of Fixed Kirchner, Parrilli
and Teresita Quintela (La Rioja), José Carlos Martínez and María Rosa Díaz

this issue," Fixed and considered as a "situation of
profound injustice," the obstacles facing women in the country
