Do you know why a legal interruption of pregnancy should not be new?

In Jujuy a raped girl asked that the law be respected and that her pregnancy be interrupted but she fell into the wrong hands and everything was complicated. What should have been a quick intervention eventually dilated and the caesarean was finally the only option to "comply with the law".

In Tucumán something very similar happened and again the anti-right people They have made it impossible for another raped girl, aged 11, to have access to safe abortion. On top of that, they persecuted and threatened anonymously the professional marriage that guaranteed such access.

This week another case started to resonate on social networks, this time in Saint Jean. But in the Motherhood of Rawson Hospital they acted quickly and the anti-rights could not act and the interruption was swift, giving the girl the right not to be a mother. All media reported what happened.

And while that what the law says should not be topicalIn this context, the feminist journalism he is attentive since he is finally one of the people who denounce, control or demand that the protocol be executed.

The problem is that by highlighting some cases of Statutory interruption of pregnancy, this exposes the particular situation of a girl. Although, in general, victim data are not released, it is very difficult dangerous for her. This little, after the intervention, he must regain his normal life and the state should guarantee him to do it with as little harm as possible.

Then, What to do and how to do it? In debate Filo.News spoke with the feminist journalist Florence Alcaraz, author of the book "Let it be the law".

For a legal and federal abortion

"These stories are not new, they are part of the daily obstacles that many girls, women and pregnant women encounter when they want to access their rights. It is also true that in the country, rights are guaranteed at different levels, which shows the existing inequality at the federal level. Depending on where they are born, they may interfere with their right, deny it directly, or have an abortion without problems, "says the specialist, adding:" The problem is also that we do not have complete, federal, reliable or updated figures on legal breaks in pregnancies. "

Abortion has been a key issue in the past year in the media, political and social agenda of our country. For the journalist, this is an important point to understand why this news resonates both in networks. "What happens is that many things are mixed together, on the one hand the power of social networks and the importance given to legal abortion in the country, excessive diffusion through these channels. The 2018 abortion was the protagonist So now, everything that's going on, whether good or bad, is new, "he adds.

With regard to viral pregnancy interruptions, Alcaraz reinforces: "It should not be news to guarantee a right to a baby because it's a right we have a hundred years agobut with the background of Tucumán and Jujuywe are more alert. Also, because there is a context of regression of rights in general, I say, we do not have Ministry of Health for example. With this conjuncture, everything becomes a new ".

Take care of the victims, the task

The danger of these cases reaching the media and growing is, as we have already said, inserting these little ones into their environment after interventions so socially stigmatized. "On the one hand, we have to take into account the power of networks, the mbadive nature of our demand and think that these girls have to go home, with their friends, they have to choose whether to publish or not. they decided. Too much they have already violated their rights when they were raped ", maintains Alcaraz.

Since the legislation on abortion was discussed at the Congress of the nationand with the magnitude of this issue at the federal level, the picture is constantly changing. Although the right to legal abortion is not yet guaranteed by the state, it is no longer a taboo subject within society.

In this scenario, those who oppose, adapt and thus obtain new tools so that access to this right, which will be realized sooner or later, is more and more complicated. "Historically, they move like that, they are inside the hospitals, they approach the families that accompany the victim, they surround him and they try to convince them not to do it, now there is more information and greater access for us to learn these methods. anti-rights have never left this litigation, Today, abortion has come out of the closet defiinitivamente and in this sense, they are trying to strengthen their strategies. ", reflects.

When asked if he thought the raped girls had fallen prey to these conservative groups, he said no, that for them "We are all a fightground". "Before a celestial advance, a more feminist organization, our problem today is that we have a great awareness of the right to abortion but there is a very big difference with what the state guarantees ", says.

"We have made progress on the legislative front, our rights have been significantly expanded over the years, and our networks continue to grow without interruption, but the decision to abort, which is the most autonomous and the most sovereign, the power to say no, still belongs only to men and that is what must be changed " Alcaraz finishes
