are performed annually in Chile about 200 000 abortions, 30 000 of them leave their mark in the women who practiced it to be hospitalized ( forosalud.cl ). In 2006 more than 150 women were killed by this practice. It is also a major cause of maternal death among young rural workers. Women living with this harsh reality are they can not afford to get a morning after pill, which was denied us the right, the Church (through the Constitutional Court ruling) and the Concertación endorsed, plants remain at the discretion of each municipality, ie opening the door for municipalities in the hands of the reactionary right and refuse the morning after pill.
we are forced to have children who can not keep up with the starvation wages they receive. These attacks go straight to us, working women, whom we more precarious because they are women paying us the 30% for the same work of a man, among other things, as well as the poor and students. These attacks do not reach Bachelet and women of the employers and the rich, who can afford medical consultation time for a morning-after pill, or they can pay for an abortion at a private clinic, where he is in a " appendicitis ", mocking the law without running the risk of a sequel, land in jail or killed.
Maybe we call attention, the heated debate over therapeutic abortion in recent weeks why?.
We must realize that from the past year opened an election cycle, with municipal elections, now up to the presidential election. And is that parties must go in search of votes, and the coalition is trying to revive the confidence of women and workers and the Coalition Bachelet, when Bachelet was the same and the Coalition that have permitted the attacks to women, such as the prohibition of distributing the morning-after pill in clinics, we know only affects the workers and poor are those who serve in municipal health centers. The same coalition is the one with the right has maintained the salary gap, and now intends to subsidize companies to hire young women because of course, that labor are much cheaper.
The right reactionary sectors of the DC, was stirred to see only the opportunity to discuss about therapeutic abortion, this is how the UDI Alvarez, president of the Chamber of Deputies , did not openly declare that any debate on abortion in the chamber would be declared unconstitutional, right again we discover the face with impunity and repression.
We know that neither the right nor the Coalition will pursue therapeutic abortion, but comes with a wink Frei saying he was "open to discussion" to raise expectations among workers and poor, if not even let us free and free access to morning-after pill ( removing it from the clinics and hospitals). We can not expect a response from the bosses' parties nor can we allow them to continue deciding on our bodies and lives.
For all that is necessary to raise an alternative, independent of any employer variant, led by women working together with our fellow workers, calling the students, women and men of the poor.
Bread and Roses From Teresa Flores we call for a united campaign, the CUT, the Vice President Anef woman, who like working-class organizations should give Reply with women's organizations and feminist as federations and student centers, to fight for the right to legal abortion, free and open to all women who required and free contraceptives and quality to face this reality.
