The abotion in Chile, An urgent social issue.

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.
