LEGAL ABORTION






Currently in our country speaks more about the legalization of abortion. Chile has decriminalized abortion in three situations, but does this measure solve the real need of our society? Many feminist groups have demonstrated this last time that they support the right to choose over motherhood and the autonomy of the woman's body; It has also been shown that the right to choose over motherhood and abortion are linked to the economic power of a woman. In this way, women who have greater economic resources are more likely to perform an abortion, while those who can not die in hiding when the problem must be considered in public health policies.

I believe that reproductive choice empowers women by giving them control over their own bodies. Because the choice about when and if to have children is fundamental for a woman's independence and her ability to determine her future. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote in the Planned Parenthood decision. Casey, 1992: "The ability of women to Participate equally in the economic and social life of the nation has been facilitated by their ability to control their reproductive lives". For this reason, feminist groups are currently fighting for equal rights between men and women.

Beyond the religious or biological positions that one may have, all respectable, the problem of abortion exists and continues to be produced, whether it is wanted or not, each year there are 55.7 million abortions in the world, 45% of the which (25.5 million) is carried out without security guarantees, according to the WHO and the Guttmacher Institute of New York (USA) in 2010 and 2014

This is why abortion is an urgent issue in public health policy, because women do and will continue do, be it the reason they  not to want the baby born, such as rape, lack of necessary resources to receive a baby, not wanting to endanger their working life that is affected by the failure of a contraceptive method or whatever. But finally the only ones who can move forward with their lives without being affected by an unwanted pregnancy are those who possess the necessary resources to be able safely do so in hiding or with a false illness in a hospital while women with fewer resources and more vulnerable die in hiding

    Legal abortion is needed because if a woman doesn't want a child, she will do anything in her hands to make it happen, even risking her life.

Well, next summer I do not plan a trip or something for my holidays, because this semester has been quite expensive due to the workshop, but with my boyfriend we want to visit his family in Talca. In my opinion, I think it's a great idea because his family lives in Talca Mountain, very far from everyone, and this is a good idea for us to relax from the university. But even though my holidays are only a month and a half, I do not think I will recover at that moment from all the fatigue caused by the academic burden of the university. No matter the short time that i will have  to holiday I have no doubt that my summer going to fantastic, because also i want to make a lot things, like that painting or making a craft, also i  want practice sports in my vacation, go to circo chico companies to train hand to hand or aerial acrobatics as I did in my school days.

Currently, leading a university life is quite difficult for me, because I live in the periphery of Santiago and the university is in the center of Santiago, which means that I lose a lot of time in transport every day. Despite that, I try to take advantage of this time to study on the way to college or to sleep and rest from the exhausting day. For me, the study is more difficult that for other people, I do not know why, maybe I am a person who needs more time to understand the university, but I always do everything possible to fulfill the university. Sometimes I work in a wrapper supermarker, because the university is expensive for me, so I always organize my days to fulfill all the responsibilities. Some days, the supermarket is empty when this happens, I take my notebook and my pencil and start thinking about the project I design for the university. The tools that the university gives me are also important. My faculty is very poor, this does not have space to work in all the su...
