On this
time, the topic of the blog is "social Issues".
I chose
talk about the abortion, because I think is an urgent issue to deal with in
Chile.
In Chile is
illegal make all type of abortion. On the Chilean law, is considered a crime.
Even the so-called "therapeutic
abortion". I think that is unacceptable, because every year in our
country, a lot o women die o go to the jail for do an abortion. But the problem
is bigger than that, because also is a problem of social inequality, Everyone
knows that the high class can have a safe abortion for their women, They
usually fly to other country to do the procedure, or they pay to a friend
doctor for do a false "appendectomy" in a safe clinic. The most
outrageous of this, is that the same high class is against to legalizing the
abortion. That make me think about the real reason for not legalizing the
abortion, and i really think is a theme about class domination. The high class,
and especially the right-wing politicians don't want a legal abortion in chile,
because now been illegal, and that contributes to the social stratification. I
mean that contributes to make the poor still poor.
Only for a
trivia: the abortion in all their form is illegal only in 3 country at the
world: The Vatican, The Salvador, and Chile.
