Peru: Parliamentary commission votes for decriminalizing eugenesic abortions
LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
After a long debate, the Commission for the Revising of Peru's Penal Code rejected the request of reconsidering the bill that would decriminalize therapeutic abortion or the abortions performed in case of rape, or when the fetus suffers from severe malformations, by 6 votes in favor, 5 votes against, and 1 abstention.
The voting rules out the objections that several political and religious groups had expressed against this proposal, since they consider it to be an crime against life.
While the commission was debating on this matter, hundreds of demonstrators, from pro-choice and pro-life groups, were shouting mottos like “I aborted!” or “Say YES to life!” in front of the Congressional building.
After this, the President of the Commission, Carlos Torres Caro, he will send the bill with the final conclusions to the Congressional President, Luis Alva Castro, who will decide if the bill will be sent or not to be debated in Congress.
