For the fourteenth consecutive day, organizations and groups calling for the decriminalization of abortion under the three cases remained firm yesterday in the camp set up in front of the National Palace.
At a time when the Chamber of Deputies has begun reading the draft law on the Criminal Code without the three reasons to allow abortion, protesters say their position is to fight for women to decide on their bodies.
Activist Lourdes Contreras said that her claim is the Criminal Code with the reasons, liberalizing the punishment of women and the environment of women, “who are obliged to terminate a pregnancy in the three conditions you already have. They know”.
They will fight to the end
He assured that they will fight to the end and that they will not take a break for Easter, because, while the legislators are working, they will continue to fight.
“In this fight we will be in the camp until the end, until the last decisions related to this issue are taken,” Contreras stressed.
He criticized the decision of the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Alfredo Pacheco, that there are no people in the boxes while the decision is known.
“We do not even accept that there is no one in the boxes of the chambers because it is a right of the citizens to watch, to be vigilant to the decisions of each of the deputies,” he said.
KEY
