The past class came to our English group, the PhD Lorena Binfa. She is a midwife and she spoke about the abortion and the different alternatives to control the birth. Well, it is truth that in Chile the abortion is a taboo subject for population and we are permanently under Catholic´s judged, and this is an impediment to legislate about the cruel reality of abortion situation.

Well in Chile, this is a big problem because the people who have the option to legislate about abortion are majority men, it mean, women cannot decide for themselves, for their physical and mental health.

Now is funny see in the news some rules about the conception, like in Coquimbo, where the emergency pill was banned for women and I think that this is the worst option due to in my view, each woman decide about her future like a mom and many of these woman are the most affected by this measure and paradoxically they are those of fewer economic resources. Why these? Well because if in this country if you have money you can get the pill on pharmacies. So, we have to admit that the people start to having sex at a younger age and if we do not have a good contraception mechanism the women will resort to the abortion or even more abandoned children.

For all these, I believe that like country we have to fight for our rights like women and fight for the next generations…
