In the context of September 28th, Global Day of Action for Safe and Free Abortion, Latin America presents a diverse framework in the advance towards the defense of the right to decide. We observe in Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico and Uruguay more progressive laws that facilitate access to abortion and reflect the commitment to reproductive rights; as well as important initiatives in Chile and Ecuador, which seek the eradication of abortion from their penal codes. On a par with countries such as El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, which maintain a position that criminalizes abortion in all circumstances.
