Abortion is a safe and internationally recognized medical procedure that does not generate more complications than the removal of a person\u2019s wisdom teeth. It is important to note that in order to guarantee the safety of the procedure, it must be carried out under the supervision of trained health professionals and in a safe environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Access to safe abortion care is a critical, life-saving part of comprehensive reproductive health care, one that reduces maternal mortality and suffering. Research in the U.S. (University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill,) concluded that between 1998 and 2005, one woman died in childbirth for every 11,000 live births, compared to one in 167,000 who died from a legal abortion. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” title=”MYTH No. 2: Termination of pregnancy (abortion) has side effects such as infertility or breast cancer”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”6780″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”3\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

There are a wide variety of reasons and circumstances that lead to abortion, such as risk to a pregnant person\u2019s life, pregnancy following a sexual assault or coercion, or a fatal abnormality detected in the fetus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, evidence shows that not all pregnancies are planned and motherhood is not always desired. For example, in Mexico 4 out of 10 pregnancies were not planned, due to being the product of violence, sexual coercion, or in other cases due to the unsatisfied need for contraceptives, especially in adolescents who lack the necessary information, access, or the autonomy to be able to use them in the face of the refusal of their partner. Moreover, contraceptives are not always made easily accessible, and affordable, and can also fail.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” title=”MYTH No. 12: Most religions oppose abortion”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”6800″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”3\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Numerous religious traditions have taken a stance on abortion, but few are absolute. While the Catholic Church continues to hold severe opposition to abortion, organizations such as Catholics for Choice, interpret that women have the autonomy to decide if, when, and how they become pregnant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Bible, there is no explicit condemnation of abortion, which is only mentioned once, when it occurs as a result of a violent assault on a woman. Other religions that also support abortion in certain circumstances are Anglicanism, Buddhism, Methodism, and Judaism.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” title=”MYTH No. 13: The current constitution prevents the passing of a law that decriminalizes abortion for any reason”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”6802″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”3\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

The Constitutional Chamber of El Salvador, in Sentence 18-99 (in Spanish) affirms that <\/span>\u201ccontroversies arising from the conflict between intrauterine human life and the constitutional rights of the mother must be legally regulated.
