Peru's Government decided not to distribute the morning-after pill in any public health facility, and its official position is “to respect the decision of the Constitutional Court, while we wait for clarifications,” said yesterday Peru's Prime Minister Javier Velásquez Quesquen.
According to witnesses quoted by El Comercio, Health Minister Oscar Ugarte explained the Cabinet details on the clarification request his sector submitted to the Constitutional Court (TC), and highlighted the impact that implementing TC's sentence would have on public reproductive health policies.
El Comercio also says that President Alan García indicated that the issue could not be submitted to the IACHR because that would make a case of "the State against the State," and expressed that “the government must respect the institutions; the final decision is the court's."
According to participants, the issue ended there, and nobody expreesed his personal position on the morning-after pill.
