Blog 5: Abortion.

In the last class of English we were visited by Professor Lorena Binfa, who works as a midwife. She told us in his talk the history of abortion in our country, the visions we have of this and the various forms that exist today in our country and in others for birth control.

The abortion in our country is a taboo subject, and also very controversial, since it is considered to be a murder to a defenseless being, and for some years it is considered to be an illegal practice, and by this it was decided to penalize the one who realizes it. Also this topic is rejected by the Catholic Church.

The abortion not only brings with it the murder of the defenseless one, but also, it puts in risk the life of the woman in the moment in which it is realized. Today there is the abortion pill that is not accepted by our legislation, but in other countries such as Sweden, it is legal to give women who want this pill, provided it is before the age of 3 months of pregnancy.

In my opinion in Chile sexism still exists, as no considering the views of women about what they believe and want, and not given the opportunity of their choice whether or not a child. Y this is demonstrated as Chilean law, which are decision makers on these topics is composed mostly of men.

Despite this, I do not agree with the topic of the abortion, since though the woman has right to decide what wants, nowadays diverse forms exist to control the birthrate and there is a very good accessibility to obtaining contraceptives, since these the women are given them in the doctor's offices, or, they can accede to them in the pharmaceutical trade.

  1. I liked what you wrote, and I think there is always more alternatives, such as birth control pills, but everything is better instead of abortion
