ABORTION. A Taboo Topic Whenever prevention and protection have failed, an undesired pregnancy can be terminated through abortion. Currently, abortion is still a taboo topic in Mexico. Yet Mexican feminists were already fighting for the right to decide over their own bodies and the legalization of abortion in the 1970s. In the 1980s and 1990s, the government recognized abortion in certain specific cases, for example after rape. Subsequently, changes of the law in favor of abortion were accepted in several states. But, there is a lot of conservatism in Mexico. Although Mexico is a secular state, the Church has great power over society. Regarding abortion, the Mexican Church has been one of the main and fiercest opponents, as illustrated by bishops personally participating in protest marches. Even the PAN and PRI parties are strongly influenced by the Catholic Church and pursue conservative family values. As a result, there has been a retrogression in Mexican abortion laws in recent years. Currently, abortion is penalized in 17 out of 32 states. Numerous states started procedures to restrict their abortion laws even more52. Women have already been sentenced for having an abortion. With the anti-abortion policies, the state is in fact claiming control over the bodies of Mexican women. In 2014, only women in the Federal District were free to choose for abortion without conditions within the twelve first weeks of the pregnancy (Grupo de Información en Reproducción Elegida, 2014). The argument of the conservative side against abortion is that they want to protect the life of any living creature, and condemn the murder of the innocent unborn child. This could be a valid argument if abortion was only about the life of the fetus. However, this argument does not take into consideration the pregnant woman. Although abortion does imply ending the life of a living organism, it can also be necessary for the health and wellbeing of the mother. Teenage pregnancies, for example, have high health risks because of the girls’ young age. Therefore, girls should have the right to decide to terminate an undesired pregnancy. This would not only protect their health, but also give them the opportunity to complete their education and have more opportunities in life. Furthermore, the legalization of abortion could limit the number of clandestine abortions. The WHO estimates that in 2008 around 21.6 million unsafe abortions took place worldwide, most of them in developing countries (WHO, 2011b...

ABORTION. Xxxxxxxxxxx and colleagues (2013) determined the burden of abortion in Malawi in 2009 (Xxxxxxxxxxx et al., 2013). They combined data from two surveys – the health facility and health professional surveys – to estimate the occurrences. They used stratified and systematic random sampling methods to select 269 nationally representative private and public health facilities. One hundred sixty-six facilities that provided post-abortion care (PAC) were included in the study. For one month, trained staff collected data prospectively from clients who attended these PAC facilities. Health care workers providing PAC were also interviewed. Additional data were collected from post-abortion care records, the most recent Housing and Population Census, DHS, and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. The number of post-abortion clients was used to estimate induced abortions by subtracting the expected spontaneous miscarriages. By multiplying a correction factor to women who accessed PAC, the number of women who experienced induced abortions in 2009 was estimated. After estimating the total number of pregnancies (including live births, miscarriages and abortions), unintended pregnancies were estimated using rates from DHS 2010. The study found high abortion rates in Malawi among WCBA; yearly abortion rate (23/1000 women range: 17-30/1000 women), induced abortion ratio (12/100 live births, range: 8-15/100 live births), and complications from unsafe abortion hospital admissions (6.5 per 1,000 women). Furthermore, over a quarter of all women conceived pregnancies (269 per 1,000 women) of which more than half were unintended (52%, 139/1,000 women). These rates are comparable to other low income countries but higher than developed countries (Sedgh G., et al., 2012). The main limitation of the study was determining an appropriate multiplier for estimations, which may bias the results differentially. Nonetheless, the study demonstrated a high occurrence of unintended pregnancies, induced abortions, and hospitalization from unsafe abortion complications in Malawi.
