La despenalización del aborto en Colombia: una solución innecesaria

Abstract

Since April 2005, Colombia struggles in an ethical dilemma based on the depenalization of the abortion in the defense of women’s rights. Two serious and important problems are presented: on one side, the approval of a right for women, who during so many centuries have been undervalued and on the other hand, the violation of the fundamental right of life for another individual still much more vulnerable than we, the unborn.

Colombian society is prejudiced in such general opinions usually impregnated of different philosophical thoughts that reflect the stubborn defense of women’s freedom without boundaries that turns liberty in a moral and radical subjective norm that denies even the existence of human nature in such a way that doesn’t admit that the dignity of the person has an absolute and unconditional value. Even though women’s rights are a very good and worthy cause, but contradictory means are used to defend it.

In this article I try to demonstrate that the abortion as a solution is unnecessary in the three specific causes mentioned by the law project and to propose ethical solutions with scientific and anthropological argumentations in accordance to human being’s dignity and involving the acceptance that all people deserve to live.
