Peru's Justice Ministry reiterated today its official possition against abortion, despite the fact that one of its representatives, Ricardo Váscones, voted in favor of decriminalizing it in case of rape or severe deformations of the fetus, in the committee that is evaluating a reform of Peru's Penal Code.
The Ministry cites articles took from the American Convention of Human Rights, Peru's Political Constitution and Peru's Civil Code, that affirm that every person has the right to live and that life starts at the conception.
Rosa Mavila, a representative of the Bar of Lawyers, said that this law would be applied only “after a medical evaluation.”
Meanwhile, congresswoman Lourdes Alcorta demanded the state to provide sexual orientation in public schools.
