"Nicaragua’s total ban on abortions is endangering the lives of girls and women, denying them life-saving treatment, preventing health professionals from practicing effective medicine and contributing to an increase in maternal deaths across the country.
Amnesty International is urging the Nicaraguan authorities to: Immediately repeal the law that bans all forms of abortion.
Guarantee safe and accessible abortion services for rape victims and women whose lives or health would be at risk from the continuation of pregnancy.
Protect the freedom of speech of those who speak out against the law and offer comprehensive support to the women and girls affected by the law." -Amnesty International
Unfortunately many countries in this world do not recognize the rights of Women. We are extremely fortunate that the Supreme court case 'Roe vs. Wade' gave American women the choice to abort or not, but sadly, this is not the case in many other countries. A 9 year old girl should not face criminal charges for aborting after being a victim of rape. Where is the justice?
Please visit this link (::Amnesty International::) and please TAKE ACTION by registering and signing the letter to the President of the National Assembly in Nicaragua to lift the total ban on abortion!
