Report Shadow presented by Lesbians and Feminists for Decriminalization of Abortion before the Committee on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)

-Extract-

In Argentina, abortion is illegal and punishable by imprisonment, unless the pregnancy resulted from rape, in case of danger to life or women's health, or if the woman has a mental illness or disability. Even in these cases, the ability to access legal abortion are rare. Occur each year in our country between 460,000 and 600,000 abortions under clandestine conditions. Every three days a woman dies as a result of unsafe abortion. So many suffer physical and emotional product experience underground and the violence they experience.

The prohibition of abortion does not relieve the State from its obligations to prevent unsafe abortion: not dying or getting sick from unsafe abortion is a basic human right, universal and non-derogable, shared by all countries even those where abortion is illegal (under the 1994 Constitution, Article 75. inc. 2, CEDAW Committee, Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights General Comment 14, para. 43 d, e, f, para. 44 a, c, d, among others, Decision of the Cairo Summit on Population and Development, Millennium Development Goal No. 5).

This report is based primarily on information provided by these 1616 women who called the toll from all over the country, for information on safe abortion. In this framework, aims to provide the Committee with specific information on concrete actions and omissions the Argentine government in realizing the right to health of women, under the terms of Article 12 of the Convention, according to the interpretation of this Committee and other bodies of the International Human Rights Treaties.

The experience of international health policy is emphatic about to lower the morbidity and mortality from unsafe abortion requires supplement efforts to expand access to contraception and improving post-abortion care, replacement policies unsafe methods of safe abortion, and safe methods to replace expensive, cheap and easy methods manage safe abortion.

both in countries where abortion is legal and where abortion is illegal, lower the cost of abortion services to expand its accessibility and availability is a major health policy challenges. In this replacement policy, abortion with the drug misoprostol has the highest advances and guarantees.

Misoprostol is an essential drug by the World Health Organization for being cheap, effective, widely available in a large number of countries and be culturally acceptable to produce self-induced abortions safe until 12 weeks of pregnancy, contributing to reduce the prevalence of avoidable deaths and complications from unsafe abortions worldwide, even in countries where abortion is illegal. Before misoprostol, no method was considered by WHO and international medical organizations as safe for women to have abortions by themselves at home, at any stage of pregnancy.

The regulatory framework of the right to health makes it clear that essential medicines should be available, accessible, acceptable and of good quality to benefit vulnerable populations without discrimination throughout the world. According to GC 14 of the CESCR on the right to health, "... a State party can not never in any circumstances justify its infringement of the basic obligations set out in paragraph 43 above, which are irrevocable.

Abortion: discusses what the newspaper La Nation is not what we want to discuss

After

the adoption of equal marriage law, several public voices were raised in favor of discussing the legalization of abortion. But today "The Nation" describes as "legalization of fact" that the Ministry regulation Health owed for 90 years. Do you mean "La Nación" fool all of society and make us believe that in 1921 abortion was legalized? Do you intend to delay the debate for another 100 years and we discuss the set and abortion rights for girls who are raped by their stepfathers? Do you mean that all women are girls who must be licensed by the State before doing something that we always?

First, "The Nation" is intended to hide the reality of abortion in Argentina and is a fact.

It is a fact of life for every woman, every woman aborts an average of 2 times in his life.

is a daily occurrence in social life: 1 woman aborted every minute.

is an economic fact: the business of clandestine abortion moves $ 1 million per day.

is a massive fact: there are between 500,000 and 700,000 illegal abortions a year, very few abortions are not punishable.

It is a fact of Health: Unsafe abortion is the leading cause of death of pregnant women for 20 years.

is a political fact: with the female, 1 abortion safe = 1 vote insurance.

is necessary that the law recognizes the fact that, with few exceptions, all women who live in Argentina today are so massive abortion illegal, and eliminate fear, inequality and economic exploitation of women generates the ban. Advances in Argentina human rights of women are being evaluated by the Committee on the Convention Against All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). The International Human Rights recommended to our country for 10 years to legalize abortion. In Congress there are two bills ready to be treated this year. For 50 years, Eva Perón said: "Where there is a need, there is a right." Last week, Cristina Fernandez said: "Anything that recognizing rights, extending them is good for society." With 30 years of democracy and 90 years of failed abortion is not punishable, it is time to legalize abortion all.
