Thick Dark Red Discharge

Bread and Roses, Teresa Flores present in the national strike this April 16th! Supplement No. 2

Bread and Roses, Teresa Flores present in the national strike this April 16th!

Women that compose Bread and Roses, the militants of class against class and independent, we are present in this call national level because we believe that given the excessive attacks that have erupted because of the capitalist crisis spreads around the globe, the working class should be imposed with a tough response.

1) You are more than 200 thousand redundancies to date, ie 200 thousand families have been the terrible uncertainty of not knowing whether they will or not to eat from now on;

2) increased precarious employment, employers have felt the lash of his despotism forcing the worker and the worker to accept its conditions: the reduction of their salary or the renewal of their contracts for wages even more miserable than you already have, fear among the dismissal if workers refuse to accept;

3) the continuing threat of unemployment tails of workers looking for a job

4) the corporate attack on the living conditions of working class and poor people with the "collusion of pharmacies" merchants of the health and lives of workers and the poor among which the corporate vulture Piñera, who the right candidate in the race for the presidential chair shows His true face anti-worker, anti-people, not only with their actions in Fasa, but also with his reactionary stance on the debate abortion.

5) the plight of 100 000 families are in danger today to be in the street as their homes are at risk of being topped: entrepreneurs not to lose touch of their profits leave hundreds of workers and their families on the street because they can not pay, many of them probably have been dismissed for the same kind is reprehensible that the bosses

6) hypocrisy employers, that in an election year winks favorable to workers, when in fact govern under the interests of employers, the Coalition promises miserable bonds, subsidies youth employment that are nothing more than a campaign to encourage more precarious to precarious sectors (cheap labor) and the oppressed youth us women, exploited and oppressed doubly patch measures since the only ones who have been promoted to employers through a series of direct and indirect bailouts

7) the attack on education: approval of the LGE, exceeds that while this economic crisis corresponds to privatization, the commercialization of basic rights and services, now in private hands: Employers who do not hesitate to act as the rest of his peers, firing, precarious or raising their prices ( tariffs).

8) climate police repression against students and downtrodden as the Mapuche, firstly, and secondly, anti-labor climate that has been reflected recently in serious anti-union practices, to safeguard the electoral cycle in their democracy for the rich, discontent with crush hard knocks, and then displayed in the media as friendly and pro- our interests.

Since the employers that are taking an offensive initiative, while containing our discontent with crumbs, we believe it is a pressing need that today the working class, with partners as the poor people and other oppressed peoples demos a united, preparing demonstrations unit. We also believe that this response should be prepared from the ground and go in line with our true interests are not depositing any confidence in politicians employer, or the Concertación and the Right, who are now refusing to accept that trade union leaders from entering the parliament, maintaining the binomial and allow all the attacks that have denounced ... has already demonstrated how sterile is the policy of social dialogue, which leads not only to trust those who today destroy our standard of living and put before us only misery. The policy promoted by the official leaders of the CUT, a "political settlement" which would include the PC and the Coalition, does not serve to end exclusion was because the coalition itself that has given ideas to the right in recent years No trust in the employer! For a demonstration unit, massive! All and all the national strike for our rights and interests!

Bread and Roses is present, because in this context of crisis and attack those who we will be doubly hit women occupy the most precarious jobs, getting laid off, suffering every day for not having as "stop a pot or pay for college for our sons and daughters, and believe it is necessary that the agencies with which the working class has group should be part of their demands than those relating to women, today attacked directly, for example with the proposed post-natal offered by employers with half pay, outsourcing, domestic work, etc..

No trust in the employer! For a demonstration unit, massive!

Each and every prepare a national strike to face the bosses and their abuses! That the spaces of self-organization of the working class to take in their hands the demands of working women and the poor!

Women workers and poor, together with our classmates deal with abuses of the employers!

Writing A Maricopa County Inmate

INE Unpublished study finds little help from men in domestic work

A purpose of the report in El Mercurio: "Unpublished INE study finds little help from men in domestic work"

"Measuring checks the myth that Women bear the brunt of housework and aims to achieve in Chile, as other countries are doing that these activities are recognized as a basic support for the production of other areas of the national economy. "El Mercurio, 29/03/2009

Whenever we stood in front of a pot, take a broom or a board, we cherish our children, care for our elderly parents or sick of our families, we are working . Everyone seems to ignore it, every time a woman denies these obligations is morally judged and condemned by a society which seems see us agotadísimas natural and stressed because of the difficult task of managing a household with poverty wages that gives the employer.

And it's a full time job in which there is no statutory holidays or time of collation, in which we have no rental or contract, no wage nor by a chance to renounce him, that is, a job not recognized as such or unpaid, and, moreover, is undoubtedly attributable to us: women workers and poor since the rich, the wives of rich businessmen in this country women entrepreneurs and women "power" are released him to shore, precisely, exploiting another woman deprived of wealth and property that has no tool to survive but to sell their labor power, this woman, then goes home to practice exactly the same job, but now free, without any of the miserable crumbs rights as he gave the employer ... So pass endless hours of thousands of women were housewives or working women of all shapes, assume the entire burden of domestic chores, without the possibility of rest for the mere fact of being women, workers and poor.

Studies show that domestic work unpaid is between 35% and 75% of gross domestic product of nations, which it looks fabulous to employers that saves millions because it considered the job if you should increase the salary of all employees since the maintenance of a human being has its costs: they care that we continue to do so for free and this is very convenient, then, that work remains a "naturalized" of women.

From this perspective, the central problem does not lie in the absence of a salary. It is indeed a problem of economic roots: it is a job and not get paid, but this is not unlike any unpaid work such as that performed the fire (eg weak but valid), the specificity of this work is that it is regarded as inevitable and "natural" destiny of a woman - for that work ideologically Assistant serving the Church to the employer - although in reality, we know that we are the workers and poor who are actually convicted. Based on the above is that we talk about the actual existence of gender-neglected tasks, like we do care for the elderly and the sick society that rejects for not being productive. Thus, it is precisely that we conclude that a salary does not solve the cause and effect produces this division of labor, which is a structural logic of capitalism to emaciated face sexist and that the main beneficiaries are the employers, employers and owners of the means of production.

From Bread and Roses, we believe that the solution to this problem is not a salary, or an individual output, such as would ask that the work be shared, even if a man breaks progressive with male prejudice, we believe that these tasks should be socialized, it is indeed possible, otherwise the capitalists have not developed dining (restaurants) or service laundries are being in the hands of businessmen today will serve to make a profit, but potentially include confirmation that it is possible to move these tasks to be transferred from the private to public, for us, socialized, free, to serve the working class and poor people, this socialization can only be taken until the end of the working class as a whole class comprised of both men and women ... Women, gender unites us, the class divides us

End tasks by gender relegated!

for the socialization of housework!

Defend the rights of sexual minorities with an anti-capitalist Post Natal Law

Defend the minority rights sex with an anti-capitalist struggle

in this country say homosexual or acknowledged, is part of a process marked by all kinds of discrimination, expulsion from school and work and inability many cases, access to healthcare, employment and education. The great weight of the right and the Church have a fundamentalist conservatism that discriminates against homosexuals as essentially "children of the devil, sick or crazy" is even in Parliament, education and laws. Even the blatantly IDUs prompted a complaint against activists by Movilh the mere fact of peaceful protest.

But is only responsible for the right and the conservatives in this situation? Because if it is clear that these sectors defend to the death the family and all who question the conservative order, does the government of the Concertación perhaps perpetual democracy for the rich who is still discrimination, all forms of abuse and maintains the same conditions privatization and strong inequalities inherited from the dictatorship? We think so and not only that, we say also that if the Anti-Discrimination Act after Step 4 years has not provided a point to defend sexual minorities is because the ruling coalition with the right allowing you to have the weight it has in parliament, to keep the binomial, essentially endorsing everything without changing anything background.

why a law like the Law Against Discrimination in the Movilh (Gay Liberation Movement) has tried to add an item on the respect for sexual orientation to defend sexual minorities do not have the time to leave positive if the hand of the Coalition.

openly denounce such groups as the Regional Coordinator of Evangelical Churches and the Group Eagles, who have mobilized against the rights of sexual minorities assaulting and organizations like the MOVILH and MUMS positioned against the Anti-Discrimination Act adds a point to defend the sexual orientation and gender difference. Therefore we can not trust the democratic and progressive sectors, to fight for the rights of sexual minorities LGBTI, appealing to their "sense of inclusion" when they defend this system of oppression based on ethnicity, sex, gender and the exploitation of workers. Therefore it is necessary to address them, we must reject a law that in general as it is also to include religious minorities, as are the same religions and churches that endorse and reinforce discrimination against sexual minorities in reality.

But Shall we also considered the prohibition of dismissal, expulsion of work and educational establishments by a different sexual orientation to heterosexual, also calling for effective separation of the Church State, which has all the weight of their institutions to influence national policy as they did in the TC ruling against the "morning after pill" driven by the right and the Church, kept intact by the Coalition.

addition to fighting for direct claims, we believe it is necessary to go beyond appealing to the organization of sexual minorities by the working class to fight for our rights independently of any employer match as conservative or liberal coalition, the right and the "independents" who defend employers and endorse its reactionary sectors that use our oppression and discrimination to keep the misery and social order. It is necessary to consider an anti-capitalist struggle to fight back against this society of oppression and exploitation.

For legal prohibition of dismissal and expulsion from school and work by gender and sexual preference!

For sex education free of morality of the Church!

By division Effective Church and State!

and demands for the rights of sexual minorities own LGBTI!

Hottest Softcore Actresses Of All Time

Law Post Natal

Our presence in the workplace us deal with various forms of discrimination, one of them is linked to motherhood, this being perceived as a problem for the state and entrepreneurs. Article 195 of the Labour Code specifies that the workers are entitled to a break of six weeks before birth and 12 weeks thereafter. In recent days, the parliamentary consultation and the right have suggested a new draft law "for the benefit of the workers," pointing to increased postnatal 3 to 6 months. The proposal raises the cost to the State and individuals would be negligible compared to the benefits for mothers and infants, this measure also would prevent unjustifiable licenses of both mother and child. But this proposal for entrepreneurs, like any other that allows the absence of women in their jobs, would be a loss for the company. Labour Minister, Claudia Serrano, argues that although there is a maximum sympathy with the idea, emphasized the need to "take care of the year in which we are discussing and calibrate very well that affect employability." (The Mercury, 15/3/1909).

This law extends to 6 months maternity rights, will real change to the situation of women workers? Considering that the 250 000 women who have a birth year, it is estimated that only 50 000 would be beneficial, since these workers would be part of that contract. The remaining 200 000 working only a fee, or are housewives. More and more women working in irregular conditions, therefore fall outside the legal protection. A quarter of women who work do not have and would not enjoy the benefits of standards of maternity protection (Department of Labor, 2007), of the nearly 180 000 who are unemployed or are housewives do not have and not would be entitled to post-natal. Because this is reality, we believe that this law is not aimed at improving the lives of working mothers.

However, "women benefit," the bill proposes that during the six months of post natal mothers would receive a salary working part-time (the present is full enjoyment of remuneration) measured patch and precarious, taking into account: health, Isapres plans for women between 20 and 60 tripling the price of contributors males, 40% of working women are heads of household; and the average income of women corresponds to 79 percent of the pay of men. If wages are now lower, reduced by half with a child care which demonstrates that the proposal does not target parliamentarians on behalf of workers. But rather a policy "to pose as progressive," which seeks to make much-thumbed settled gender demands, using these palliatives and not criticizing or changing the gains of entrepreneurs who are saved sums of money with our precarious, unless Even the economic structure and patriarchy. Above that while talking about rights, we are downloading the crisis with more layoffs and job instability.

This law proves to be a breakthrough for women's demands, so from Bread and Roses fought by postnatal right, with the same wage for women with a contract and without it, not to divide among plant workers and subcontractors. While we strive for steady work for all workers and employees, by the end of the contract and a minimum wage equal to the family budget of 350,000 pesos.

pharmaceutical entrepreneurs attack our rights up prices main contraceptive!

Mobilize the march on Monday April 6 that calls the CONFUSAM!

Again working women, the poor and students receive a direct attack on our reproductive rights and pockets, this time directly from the pharmaceutical business leaders of the three big chains of CruzVerde, Salcobrand y Ahumada, who colluded at national level, rose in value of 222 according medications including a variety of contraceptives in some cases up to 300% value.

It is well known that health has been privatized since the dictatorship and today is a business, and once again demonstrated with this case of pharmacies. And services have been privatized and basic needs such as education and as the AFP increase your profits with our funds. Right away with the top down the profile to the fact that Piñera, a presidential candidate had shares in FASA, involved in this aberrant rise. The coalition has maintained all these years of government and further deepened neoliberalism, favoring the pockets of entrepreneurs at the expense of working people and poor, and now only limited to demand more regulation without touching a hair on corporate profits.

This measure of the pharmaceutical business, is part of the measures taken by employers in general to use the law and the loopholes in your favor, to increase still further their profits. Those most affected are once again working and poor people, therefore, from Bread and Roses say that working women, the poor and students who have a difficult access to contraception, we do not have free access to quality contraceptive nor to the "morning after pill" suffer the worst consequences of not paying these high costs in pharmacies that are enriched by our misery and need. We must fight for the right to free contraception, free and of quality, awarded by the State against the business entrepreneurs of our reproductive rights are under capitalism. So we have to mobilize on Monday, April 6 against the measure, calling with health workers and pharmacies, opening the accounts of these companies, giving a response from the working class, by the CUT and CONFUSAM .

Before the April 2, let us mobilize the repeal of the LGE, which maintains the precarious business of education and work!

For a free education, state, and only, without the moral of the Church!

We at Bread and Roses - Teresa Flores We are active and will be in the front row this April 2, with the workers of education, to express our total rejection a law to legitimize ending the legacy of Pinochet, who remains the profound inequalities between education for rich and another precarized education for children of workers in this country.

The commercial character of education, that nothing has changed with the cosmetic reform of the LGE of the coalition, still allows employers to profit from impunity to one of our fundamental rights, while employers who manages the government even subsidized many of these entrepreneurs with no intended to promote education, but straight defending and promoting the new business that the employer obtained thanks to the Pinochet LOCE.

The result is ever more outrageous decadence of the vestiges of a public education that literally falls to pieces, Education companies that keep their students in poor conditions and precarious workers and made flexible by teacher assessment, indeed, today's employers through the LGE try to divide the workers of education among graduates and graduates not wanting to address the insecurity and job instability of some, more precarious and unstable employment of another, another trap patterns that hinder the unity of the workers in their just demands.

Nothing changes with LGE, even the article suggests that from now on will have a secular education, especially now in the midst of heated debate among politicians and employers of Frei Piñera on therapeutic abortion, we still weighs heavily as the opinion of the Church, how some are blaming the right to decide on the bodies and lives of poor women workers and students are the ones who really feel the weight of one of the most restrictive laws on reproductive rights and decriminalization of abortion. To our daughters and youngest are educated with the moral whip of a reactionary church tremendously under the influence heavy and quiet of a right filthy hypocrite who claims to be for life when Dictatorship endorsed the killings, disappearances and torture of thousands of fighters, youth, children and pregnant women. We have removed the right of the Morning After Pill, and pharmaceutical businesses have raised prices of most of our birth ... as in schools there is no effective sex education and free of taboos, and many of our girls and young they are expelled from several schools due to pregnancy.

In this regard, We now present to reject absolutely the LGE, which does not alter any element of the commercial nature of education and that does not release anyone from the ideological influence and values \u200b\u200bof conservative and reactionary part of the employer: an employer's pocket Education and moral cure only multiply the misery that we live every day the workers and poor. Faced with this demand the immediate repeal of the LGE, and take advantage of to call on all organizations of workers, mainly to the CUT, and specifically the College of Teachers to take in their hands the demand for sex education without the moral of the Church or the Right, for our daughters and young people are not condemned to being unable to decide about their lives.

LOCE NI, NI LGE, AN EDUCATION SERVICE WORKERS AND POOR!

FOR SEX EDUCATION WITHOUT THE MORAL OF THE CHURCH AND THE RIGHT!

BREAD AND ROSES, TERESA FLORES, CALLS FOR RAISING CAMPAIGN ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACEPTIVES FOR FREE MOBILIZATIONS NOT ABORT, ABORTION AND FREE FOR FREE AND NO DEATH, AND THAT EACH ATTACK OF THE EMPLOYER IS WITH ALWAYS ON THE SET OF THE WORKING CLASS, ANY OF OUR CLAIMS IS ISOLATED, LLEVARALAS WE GO OUT OF ANY EMPLOYER OPTION.

Labour reforms do not address the interests of employers

The case of domestic workers

Reforms advisory status of household workers, have been the workhorse of the coalition, not amend their working conditions, but rather because legislation amending certain points, leaving in reality the final decision in the hands of employers who hire workers, maintaining a world of its own rules in each household. These are minimum conditions that have been regulated on the payment of contributions, contracts and other legal rights, because the situation is absurd. Abuse patterns to near slavery, for example, giving the weekly day off in two half-day workers, forcing them to work more than 12 hours without locks or the beginning or the end of the day steadily, maintaining contracts word, not paying years of service, including employers behaviors.

Right, always uncompromising defender of the interests of employers, without mincing words, left to defend the idea of \u200b\u200bpaying workers in cash for the holidays does not, while debated last year the law amending Article 150 which aims to standardize them for the holidays to the advisory "indoors" and now it is law. In the words of UDI Hernán Larraín "the fairest way is to accumulate vacation or, alternatively, to compensate them financially," similar to Evelyn Matthei reviewing who said that "many people living outside the country and for them is much more important to be more days with his family to take the holiday. " (The Nation, Tuesday, December 23, 2008).

So while the right came out against this law defending employer abuse, the Coalition posing as progressive, this Act sought to show a face of change and social transformation, when these rules are not enforced or controlled within each home and the law allowing joint agreement between the worker and the employer running the holidays and accumulate within 90 days, which is nothing other than continue with the same abusive situation. For who will oversee day to be granted in accordance with the worker? Moreover, does a victory that the holidays are granted on a cumulative basis when the employer is ultimately decides on what date and under what conditions are given and decide on the working day without any limit? There is nothing to maintain the same precarious "indoors."

Both the Coalition and the right represent the interests of employers and do not say us, Laura Albornoz, SERNAM Minister, said of the idea of \u200b\u200bconcentrating on holiday holidays "That will be after the employer-worker-who is also complicated because she also has her vacation days and if it adds to their working more days in private homes can not reconcile their own vacation. " With these words, openly advocates the interests of the patrons who she says work like them. In her words emphasized, stating that "here is to juggle many times the interests of both workers and the employers often are not wealthy, they have two or three mothers, but women who leave their jobs and will take Transantiago to go to his stick. "(The Nation, Tuesday, December 23, 2008).

This position arises SERNAM accommodate the interests of the workers to their employers in fact, equal work and patterns, so as to reach a social agreement we have to respect their interests above ours. Working women have to defend our rights without relying on these women from the bosses' parties which call us to trust our patrons who have competing interests to ours. Do you worry that the 300 000 women recruited in Chile advisers from home, there are other 300 000 advisors without a contract? Are you concerned perhaps that 70% of Peruvian women in Chile work illegally as advisors used by employers and wealthy families as cheap labor and to get off the salary of the other workers?

All these situations of reality, as the immense amount of working without a contract, work extremely precarious, abuse no limits on hours and wages, the abuse directed at immigrants puts real limits to the reforms envisaged only words and rules can not apply for these conditions and even less monitor, even considering the 5 laws that boasts the Conclusion of the promulgation in the advisory for the home, 4, enacted in 2008, considered to match the salary of the workers contracted the legal minimum wage, just for the year 2011. Just the facts precarious social pact intentions is what we offer the government and the bosses' parties, although more progressive or more hard outs, end up imposing all the interests of our patterns on our own, endorsing our precarious situation.

is necessary to promote the right to work stable, stop outsourcing and labor division between first and second, fighting for a salary equal to the basket of 350,000. Only in the hands of our colleagues and fellow workers we can provide a solution to our problems and precarious workers. It is necessary to drive the ranks of the working class, of which women form a very important part. From Bread and Roses, we appeal to women workers to fight for our rights without relying on the coalition or the right or any variation or political bosses, neither of which say they are fighting for the rights of our gender and the reality advocate the maintenance under this or that partial change of the substance which is the abuse and exploitation of us working women. Working women have to fight inside the bodies of the working class as the CUT, demanding that defend our claims. To give an answer to the bosses' attacks and the crisis that we downloaded above, we are part and called to prepare the national strike on April 16, raising strike committees from the grassroots to mobilize and pay for the crisis patterns, small, medium and large.

Because gender unites us with other women, but the class divide of the patrons we and the rich.

Latin American Declaration on the Abortion

5 THOUSAND WOMEN DIE EACH YEAR IN LATIN AMERICA

NO MORE DEATHS CLANDESTINE ABORTIONS!

THE RIGHT TO LEGAL ABORTION, safe and free

Latin America has the highest rates of abortions performed under unsafe conditions, almost 4 million per year. It is clear that the policy of criminalizing abortion, which prevails in the region, it serves to prevent abortions are still practicing self-induced or clandestine circuits where conditions endanger the lives of millions of women, mostly young, adolescents, workers and poor.

During the past decades, religious fundamentalism has left in our region: churches, neoliberal governments, as well as opposition politicians representing the interests of employers, oligarchic and pro-imperialist right-wing policy imposed against the most elementary democratic rights of women.

Latin American women have a long history of fighting for abortion rights, confronting the obscurantist Church and governments and right-wing politicians, clerics and reactionaries, but the assumption of governments " post-neoliberal "in the region raised expectations in large sectors of the movement of women clashed against the harsh reality, these governments that call themselves "progressives" have not only done nothing to stop the brutal "femicide" caused by illegal abortion in our continent, but, worse still, echoes of the atrocities flying the Church and right wing, as seen in his statements, his respectful statements against abortion rights when the right of press and, above all, as can be seen from the inescapable fact that abortion is still illegal.

The result is that Latin American governments that called themselves "progressive" continue to prohibit the elementary democratic right to decide on our own bodies and our own lives, which is nothing more than enable and legitimize the death of 5 000 women in Latin America, in a heartbreaking bleeding, which has its casualties among our poor sisters continent.

In Argentina not even respect the legislation requiring that abortion is not punishable when the pregnancy endangered the life of women. Justice, Health Minister and President Cristina Fernández have spoken on several occasions against this fundamental right. Under pressure from the Church and other right wing, prevented even therapeutic abortions were practiced girls abused, raped, and are primarily responsible for that are currently more than 400 women who die in this country, the consequences of abortions.

In Chile not permit abortion under any circumstances, since '89 with the Pinochet dictatorship, being one of the most restrictive countries in this field. The right and the church held great power in the political decisions: in 2008 they stopped the "morning after pill" from being sold in public health clinics. The Concertación government endorsed this and now, on the campaign trail, say they are willing to discuss therapeutic abortion, while they have maintained the law on this subject since the dictatorship that led to the deaths of hundreds of women about the consequences of abortions illegal. President Bachelet who initially was against legalizing abortion, presented the contraceptive pill emergency as the solution to teen pregnancy, but today, speak out against the ruling that won the right and the church against this fundamental right of working women, young and poor, removing the "pill" and endorsing the misery.

In Brazil , the Church of Pernambuco, with support from the Vatican, says that abortion is worse than rape, and excommunicated the doctors and mothers responsible for the abortion performed on a 9-year-old pregnant with twins, after being abused by her stepfather. Meanwhile, President Lula, on the one side says that abortion is a public health issue, but on the other hand gives a hand to the Church, reassuring, saying that he sees no need for Congress to pass a law legalizing abortion, since the existing two exceptional cases (rape and risk of death). In addition, prosecution of 10 000 women, in Mato Grosso do Sul, for having abortions, Parliamentary Inquiry Commission on Abortion in the House of Representatives and the campaign in defense of fetuses without brain give Brazil the title of "model anti-abortion rights" to host, in 2010, the World Meeting in Defense of Life.

In Uruguay in November 2008, the current President Vázquez, as was mentioned earlier, vetoed the legislation - which had been approved by both houses of the legislature, proposing the decriminalization of abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Despite the protests and voices were raised against the presidential veto, it was not overturned. Perhaps it was the single point of his campaign that the president kept to his word!

In Ecuador's Rafael Correa , abortion is a crime. During the inauguration of the National Constituent Assembly in 2007, the Ecuadorian president spoke out against the decriminalization of abortion and the next year to respond to the accusations of the Church and leave no room for doubt about their position, government stressed the non-recognition of legal abortion in the new constitution. "Never I understand statements like 'my body, my choice' when it is clear that the embryo, fetus or baby that a mother carries is no longer part of his body "Correa said, adding he would vote against" if the new Constitution approve prenatal euthanasia. "

In Bolivia , abortion is punishable by three years of prison for women who give consent. In the constituent assembly to reestablish the country, the rhetoric used by ruling party, there was a proposal for sexual and reproductive rights developed by agrupacionesde women, NGOs, indigenous women, feminist groups and independent, where he proposed specifically that the decriminalization of abortion, privacy rights and personal privacy, the right to determine one's own body, and motherhood, freely and voluntarily, to pleasure and eroticism. Given this, Evo Morales was accused by the Church and right-wing sectors of wanting to legalize abortion in the new constitution. The president quickly came to defend these "slanderous," denying that this was part of his plan and defended his government "Culture of life."
In Nicaragua abortion is illegal under any circumstance since October 2006, even though it is a child who has been raped. Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua's current president, took a step back in history, repealing existing legislation since 1893, in a terrible agreement made with the most reactionary of the Nicaraguan Church to gain their support in recent elections. Besides being loaded on his back an accusation of sexual abuse by his stepdaughter, Daniel Ortega promotes the pursuit of sectors of the feminist movement fighting for the legalization of abortion in this country.

In Venezuela , "Socialism of the XXI century" does not include the rights of women: its president, Hugo Chavez has spoken out against abortion and has prevented, with some parliamentary Chavez has also spoken out against this fundamental right, to advance legislation for the decriminalization of abortion on the grounds -Within his own party, "that such a measure could seriously affect their constituents and losing the support so far has been by the evangelical church.

In El Salvador , which recently won the elections, the FMLN, Mauricio Funes, the current chairman, committed to representing different churches to eradicate the high rate of abortions in the country, declaring: "I will not promote any initiative aimed at legalizing abortion ... I said no, no clearer than that I can be. "clear.
