The Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) has issued a ruling in the notorious Beatriz case<\/a>, regarding a woman in El Salvador who requested an abortion due to her preborn daughter\u2019s diagnosis of anencephaly. Preborn children are protected from abortion in El Salvador.<\/p>\n

In its decision, the IACHR ruled<\/a> that El Salvador had violated Beatriz’s human rights by refusing her request for an abortion. It ordered the El Salvadoran government to adopt \u201call necessary regulatory measures\u201d to allow doctors to commit abortions in \u201cpregnancies that pose a risk to the woman\u2019s life and health.” Furthermore, the court recommended that the country change its laws to allow abortion \u201cin cases of fetal incompatibility with life outside the womb, as well as where there is a risk to the life and a serious risk to the health and personal integrity of the mother.”<\/p>\n

The details of Beatriz’s story<\/a> have long been either misunderstood or intentionally misrepresented. Beatriz said she needed an abortion due to her diagnosis of lupus, but three doctors signed a document stating that her lupus was stable and that the pregnancy could continue. She safely gave birth via c-section, and her daughter, Leilani, died soon after from anencephaly. And though it was often reported that Beatriz died due to pregnancy complications, in reality, she died four years later from a vehicle accident.<\/p>\n

While foreign abortion organizations have tried to force legalized abortion onto the pro-life country, El Salvador’s current laws on the issue have been described as “too popular to overturn<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The pro-abortion Amnesty International celebrated the ruling<\/a> and vowed to continue trying to force El Salvador to legalize abortion. \u201cThis is a historic step, but not the end of the road. At Amnesty International, we will continue walking alongside Delmy, her family, and supporters to ensure that what Beatriz experienced is never repeated in El Salvador or across the continent,” Ana Piquer, Americas director at Amnesty International, said in a statement. “Every woman and pregnant person has the right to abortion, especially in cases like Beatriz\u2019s, when their life and health are at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

National Right to Life News, however, pointed out<\/a> that the ruling does not actually change any laws in El Salvador. “Despite the clamor of abortion advocates, the Court wisely chose not to wade into the political waters of abortion,” Raimundo Rojas, CSO Representative to the Organization of American States for National Right to Life, said. “This is a crucial reminder that the fundamental right to life remains a core value across much of Latin America. El Salvador\u2019s commitment to protecting both mother and child remains intact.”<\/p>\n
