Nicaragua refuses to discuss therapeutic abortion

IPS: “Nicaragua slammed the door on any possible debate on the restitution of therapeutic abortion – performed to save the life of the pregnant woman – despite demands that it do so voiced during a United Nations review of human rights in the country . . . when the Nicaraguan government submitted its own report to the 47 countries sitting on the Council, it ruled out the restitution of therapeutic abortion, which is only banned in a few countries around the world: Chile, El Salvador, Malta and the Philippines, besides Nicaragua.”
