¿Abortar o no abortar? Esa NO es la cuestión

Talking about Abortion

This section discusses the complexities of discussing abortion and highlights the fact that regardless of laws or opinions, abortions will continue to happen.

Abortion as a Human Rights Issue

  • Abortion is a decision made by women and girls, with or without permission from philosophers or laws.
  • The discussion should acknowledge this reality instead of ignoring it.

Decriminalizing Abortion

  • The focus should not be on whether to abort or not, but rather on the power of norms to modify behavior.
  • Criminalization only labels women and doctors as criminals without addressing the underlying issues.
  • The supposed "pro-life" stance often leads to punishment and criminalization instead of understanding and support.

Ethical Change towards Decriminalization

  • Labeling women who have abortions as murderers is an unfair use of language.
  • Decriminalization is part of an ethical shift away from punishment and violence towards understanding and alternative methods.
  • Similar changes have occurred in attitudes towards masturbation, homosexuality, and drug abuse.

Looking Towards the Future

  • Criminalizing abortion does not prevent it; it only puts women's lives at risk.
  • The debate around decriminalization can be confusing for some who equate support with encouraging these actions.
  • Ultimately, decriminalization represents a change in humanity's ethical perspective.

The Fight for Life

This section emphasizes the importance of supporting women facing difficult decisions regarding abortion and taking a compassionate approach rather than focusing solely on preserving life.

Accompanying Women Facing Dilemmas

  • The decision to have an abortion is weighty, especially as gestation progresses.
  • Supporting life means providing understanding and empathy to those facing this dilemma.
  • Analyzing the causes and consequences of each case is crucial.

Dignity and Understanding

  • Preserving dignity should be the focus, rather than blindly valuing life for its own sake.
  • Euthanasia and discussions on dignified suicide may become part of the political agenda in the future.

Mientras muchos se pierden en los criterios para condenar o justificar el aborto, los abortos ocurren y siguen ocurriendo. La discusión por la despenalización, más bien, debería ser una reflexión sobre el tipo de sociedad que queremos ser: ¿una que cree en el castigo como mecanismo preventivo o una que va a la raíz de los problemas, los comprende y previene su ocurrencia? ¿Necesitas orientación sobre el aborto? https://ayudaparaabortar.org Instagram: @safe2choosees Facebook: @safe2chooseES Twitter: @safe2chooseES TikTok: safe2choose Agradecimientos a Manifiesta, Causa Justa, Mesa por la Vida y la Salud de las Mujeres y Grupo Médico por el Derecho a Decidir.
