PROYECT

 

Legal abortion in Colombia refers to the practice of abortion that is permitted under specific circumstances, as a result of the 2006 ruling C-355 issued by the Constitutional Court of Colombia. This ruling decriminalized abortion in three situations:

1. When pregnancy poses a risk to the life or physical or mental health of the woman.

2. When pregnancy is the result of rape, incest, or other forms of sexual violence.

3. When there are severe fetal malformations incompatible with life outside the womb.

Under these conditions, women in Colombia can request a legal abortion at healthcare facilities authorized by the State. However, it is important to note that outside of these circumstances, abortion remains illegal and is subject to criminal penalties for those who perform it. Additionally, access to legal abortion in Colombia may be limited by socioeconomic, geographical, and cultural barriers.
