Todo indica que no se pondr\u00e1n de acuerdo y que habr\u00e1 ponencias a favor y en contra de la iniciativa de reforma. <\/p>\n<p>La sociedad civil est\u00e1 igualmente dividida, con grupos antiabortistas y organizaciones pro-opci\u00f3n manifest\u00e1ndose sobre el proyecto. Lastimosamente, las posiciones se concentran ante todo en el debate general sobre el aborto. Con ello desconocen que lo que est\u00e1 en discusi\u00f3n son las tres causales de exenci\u00f3n penal establecidas por la Corte y ponen en peligro el derecho de las mujeres a lograr una interrupci\u00f3n voluntaria del embarazo amparada por el derecho. <\/p>\n<p>Es importante dejar en claro que lo que el proyecto de reforma constitucional persigue realmente es dejar sin efecto las excepciones que estableci\u00f3 la Corte Constitucional en la sentencia C-355 de 2006. En Colombia el aborto est\u00e1 penalizado. Sin embargo, en la mencionada sentencia la Corte decidi\u00f3 que en los siguientes tres casos espec\u00edficos era desproporcionado sancionar a las personas que decidieran interrumpir un embarazo: a) cuando la continuaci\u00f3n del embarazo amenaza la vida o la salud de la mujer; b) cuando el m\u00e9dico certifica que el feto sufre una grave malformaci\u00f3n que hace inviable su vida; y c) cuando el embarazo es producto de la violaci\u00f3n, el incesto o la inseminaci\u00f3n artificial no consentida. <\/p>\n<p>La decisi\u00f3n de la Corte de establecer las excepciones indicadas es inobjetable. El Estado no puede exigirle a una familia que sacrifique a la madre, que tiene una existencia y unas relaciones concretas, en aras de una persona que todav\u00eda no ha llegado a la vida. Adem\u00e1s, \u00bfqu\u00e9 ocurre si esa familia ya tiene otros hijos? \u00bfDeben ser ellos expuestos al riesgo de quedar sin su madre? Y a\u00fan m\u00e1s, \u00bfqu\u00e9 ocurre si se trata de una madre soltera? \u00bfDebe quedar el ni\u00f1o a cargo de sus parientes o quiz\u00e1s solo? <\/p>\n<p>Igual ocurre con los otros dos casos. \u00bfPuede exig\u00edrsele a una mujer que mantenga el largo embarazo de un feto que se sabe que no va poder sobrevivir fuera del seno materno? \u00bfY c\u00f3mo se puede obligar a una mujer que ha sido violada a mantener el embarazo, a pesar de que este le recuerde permanentemente la violencia y la humillaci\u00f3n de las que fue objeto? <\/p>\n<p>Las tres causales de exclusi\u00f3n de la sanci\u00f3n penal establecidas por la Corte constituyen una m\u00ednima expresi\u00f3n de solidaridad con las personas que han sido duramente golpeadas por la adversidad. Por eso, muchas personas que, en principio, est\u00e1n contra el aborto, est\u00e1n de acuerdo con que no se penalicen esas circunstancias. Esa es la raz\u00f3n por la que creo que el proyecto naufragar\u00e1. <\/p>\n<p>Pero para que ese sea el resultado es necesario impedir que se confunda el debate sobre estas tres causales con la discusi\u00f3n general acerca del aborto, que genera reacciones radicales, en las que no caben los matices ni las diferenciaciones. <\/p>\n<p>Por eso, en este momento concreto, el debate debe girar exclusivamente acerca de la soluci\u00f3n humanitaria dispuesta por la Corte al establecer que la sanci\u00f3n penal en las circunstancias mencionadas es desproporcionada. \u00bfSer\u00e1 posible lograrlo?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The debate of the proposed abortion bill should be restricted to discuss the legitimacy of the three cases for non-criminal penalties established by the Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","subcategory-gender-discrimination","medium-el-espectador-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The abortion reform bill: will we achieve a reasonable debate?
