Esto gener\u00f3 algunos problemas pr\u00e1cticos iniciales, pero con el paso del tiempo el marco constitucional y legal aplicable se fue aclarando.<\/p>\n<p>Gracias a la Corte, hoy existen reglas jurisprudenciales que regulan el tema y que son ampliamente conocidas. Todas ellas se han desarrollado porque dicha instituci\u00f3n ha tenido que resolver m\u00faltiples casos de mujeres a quienes, a pesar de estar en alguno de los tres casos en los que la IVE se ha reconocido como derecho fundamental, se les negaba el acceso a los servicios de salud necesarios.  Hay cuatro ejemplos claves.<\/p>\n<p>Lo primero que se precis\u00f3 con la jurisprudencia constitucional, es que las reglas desarrolladas deben ser directamente aplicadas por las autoridades p\u00fablicas y los prestadores de servicios de salud, sin que se requiera de regulaci\u00f3n legal o administrativa alguna. Por ello, las mujeres que se encuentren en las tres circunstancias establecidas en la Sentencia C-355 de 2006 no deben ser penalizadas si abortan, y adem\u00e1s tienen el derecho a acceder de manera oportuna y segura a la IVE.<\/p>\n<p>Segundo, que para que este derecho sea garantizado, el Estado debe asegurar la disponibilidad del servicio y remover los obst\u00e1culos que puedan surgir para que las mujeres accedan al mismo. Y esto incluye la obligaci\u00f3n de asegurar la existencia de procedimientos y medicamentos que permitan la IVE. Durante estos a\u00f1os, entonces, se han incluido en el POS mecanismos adecuados, como el Misoprostol, que les permite a las mujeres acceder a una IVE menos invasiva. En consecuencia, a pesar de la nulidad del Decreto, el acceso a los servicios de salud sigue estando garantizado.<\/p>\n<p>El tercer punto aclarado son los requisitos para acceder a la IVE. Si la causal es el riesgo a la salud o la vida de las mujeres; o una malformaci\u00f3n del feto incompatible con la vida extrauterina, se requiere un certificado m\u00e9dico. Si se trata la causal violencia, a mujer debe acreditar una denuncia de los hechos. De acuerdo con al Corte, en ning\u00fan caso es posible solicitar requisitos adicionales, pues esto implicar\u00eda vulnerar los derechos sexuales y reproductivos de las mujeres.<\/p>\n<p>Finalmente, ya que el ejercicio de este derecho puede entrar en tensi\u00f3n con el derecho a la objeci\u00f3n de conciencia, la Corte ha establecido  reglas que permitir\u00edan armonizarlos. Por ejemplo, aunque se reconoce que los m\u00e9dicos pueden objetar, y por tanto no practicar la IVE, este derecho es individual y no colectivo, ni institucional. Adem\u00e1s, tienen la obligaci\u00f3n de referir a la mujer a un m\u00e9dico no objetor.<\/p>\n<p>Los grandes temas del Decreto 4444 de 2006 est\u00e1n en todo caso claros en el ordenamiento constitucional colombiano, y por ello, a pesar de la nulidad, la regulaci\u00f3n de la IVE no deber\u00eda generar, al menos por ahora, dificultades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The State Council&#8217;s decision to nullify Decree 444 of 2006 isn&#8217;t surprising.
