no actually it is really a breaking news thread... no one is going to change anyone's mind on this. But only one paper actually reported that medical abortions were now decriminalized, which Mr. Guzman confirmed.

I believe that correctly the unborn offspring is a fetus (foetus), not a child. It becomes a child when born.
I know it's a new thread and I am very happy that it is decriminalized for medical abortions 
It's a great step forward in my opinion!

How ironic that you guys claiming we are beating a dead horse when it is the foreigners who are pressuring Dominicans to change their laws.
Dominicans respect life at birth, so I would respectfully ask that you guys quit bringing up the topic of changing the laws because it is nothing more than "beating a dead" horse.

Chip et al, this is the LEGAL thread. All that should be discussed here is the law and how it pertains to abortions in the DR - not our personal beliefs. Please take everything else to Off Topic!!!
I highly doubt they changed the laws b/c foreigners pushed them to do it.
It seems obvious to me that if a woman is going to die or it is very risky for her to be pregnant that she should be allowed to abort the unborn fetus without Dr's or the woman going to Jail for 20 years!

La pr?ctica del aborto se castiga con penas de hasta 10 a?os de prisi?n mayor, en el caso de los m?dicos, enfermeras, farmac?uticos y otros profesionales de la medicina, as? como las parteras, que haciendo uso de su oficio causen o ayuden a causar un aborto. En tanto las mujeres que incurran en esa pr?ctica ser?n condenadas con dos a tres a?os de prisi?n mayor.
En caso de que una mujer muera a causa de un aborto el responsable ser? castigo con 20 o 30 a?os de prisi?n mayor.
Los legisladores introdujeron un p?rrafo que establece que ?no ser? punible la interrupci?n del embarazo cuando sea practicado por personal m?dico especializado en centros o establecimientos de salud p?blicos y privados, siempre que el mismo sea apelando al estado de necesidad como establece el art?culo 10 de este C?digo?. - See more at: El Caribe ?

Article 30 of the Constitution of 2010 (the DR passes a new constitution every time it amends it, this is done by the legislature)
states
Art?culo 37.- Derecho a la vida. El derecho a la vida es inviolable desde la
concepci?n hasta la muerte. No podr? establecerse, pronunciarse ni aplicarse, en ning?n
caso, la pena de muerte.
Right to life. The right to life is invioable from conception until deal. It is forbidden to establish, pronounce, or apply, in any case, the death penalty.
With that Constitution in place, before this amendment to the penal code, the Domnican Republic was among 6 countries in the world which prohibited abortions in all cases
The Vatican
Malta
El Salvador
Nicaragua
Chile
Now the DR has the exception of medical necessity.. which puts it more in line with other countries of the world.

wow that is great that there are only 5 Countries left to Catch up!
I never even thought about it being illegal IN ALL CASES.

Really? Why don't you educate yourself?
Profamilia is foreign subsidized and the UN promotes abortion rights and homosexual rights as well. Next up the IMF won't be authorizing loans until these are legalized.
The fact is there is a very strong foreign lobby of anti family values that due their best to coerce poor countries into accepting their anti family values. I just wish they would quit beating a dead horse in this matter and leave us alone.
Answer my question and I'll answer yours. Are you now acknowledging that the abortionist movement does in fact target poorer countries like the DR?
I have no idea what the Abortion movement thinks about poor Countries.
I just like the fact that 190 Countries have it Decriminalized for health concerns of the Mother.
