Thousands are shouting for the government to legalize abortion in the country. 

Thousands of women in Santiago, Chile are asking the government to legalize abortion in the country without definition of the reason as well as provide support for the same. At the moment, abortion is legal in Chile provided the following reasons:

  1. When the life of the mother is at risk. 
  2. When the fetus is expected not to survive the pregnancy. 
  3. In case of rape within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. 
  4. For rapes cases of minor, abortion is legal within the first 14 weeks of pregnancy. 

It was in August 2017 when the National Congress approved the abortion bill with the constitutional challenge being raised by conservative opposition members. However, the challenge was lost.

According to the report of Latercera:

"For today at 6:00 pm the sixth march is called for the "Free, Safe and Free Abortion", to be held in various cities of the country. The demonstration organized by the Coordinadora Feministas En Lucha seeks to approve free abortion in Chile and to change the vision that society has regarding this issue.
"The social decriminalization of abortion, that does not judge a woman because she performed or practiced an abortion, that is what we are interested in today. That the society understands that it is not a sin, that it is not bad, that it is a decision of each one, "explains La Tercera, Angie Mendoza, one of the spokespersons of the movement."
