translated from Spanish: One more dead to put parsley in the vagina to abort

again the clandestine abortion charges is one victim. In this case occurred in the city of Catamarca, the woman had 30 years, two young children and lived in a village near the city of Catamarca. He died in motherhood may 25, the city of San Fernando Valley of Catamarca and nearby sources claim that the woman arrived at the clinic after an abortion. Women whom we’ll call “Paulina” to protect his identity, became serious and unconscious to the maternity hospital of the city of Catamarca, where he died by septicemia (infection) widespread. Still, the version of the family of the victim is that he died after suffering a peritonitis which provoked a large infection in their bodies. But since the campaign for the right to Legal abortion, safe and free, claim that Paulina died after placing parsley into the vagina and explain that the relatives of the woman, hold another version to avoid reviews and protect the victim. For its part, the police of the province nor the doctors who attended to the victim settled complaints, so the body was not made any autopsy and after the wake, “Paulina” was buried.    From Filo.news speak with Laura García, Member and coordinator of the national campaign for the right to Legal abortion, safe and free of Catamarca, who explained to us what the situation in his province. The guilt and the silence of mass photo: Twitter “there is an absolute secrecy surrounding the case and the main reason is that the same family, according to what we know, is saying that it was a peritonitis. The issue is that the people from where comes the girl, as most of the villages of NOA (Argentine Northwest) and the NEA (northeast Argentina), is a very small and extremely conservative people”, explains the specialist. The stigma of abortion and the consequences of its illegal immigration are crystallized in these cases, in which women living in villages or small towns (great Hells) wants to or dares to tell that he was the practice by the pressure and guilt social that it falls upon them. 

“What I can tell you, always safeguarding the greater amount of data of the victim – because we decide that the case is known but without going over the family – is that she was hospitalized three to four days product from an unsafe abortion.” That ensure it because we have sources of the field of health that it confirmed”, indicates Laura. “He arrived unconscious, with septicemia (infection) facility.” I was over 400 kilometers so the trip was tremendous. Septicemia is a poorly done abortion product. The data we have is that it is a very low-income family, which lives in a place where there are no tools in the sufficient rooms to finish with this reality faced by women in our country who do not have the resources, and health centres are not prepared to act in cases as well,”added the Member of the campaign. Catamarca, illegal photo: Twitter according to Laura Garcia, Ramón Afoldo Figueroa Castellanos, Minister of health of the province, signed the accession to the Protocol by the Interrupción Legal del Embarazo (ILE), but the implementation of it is not guaranteed. Catamarca, located in the Northwest of our country, is one of the seven provinces that still do not have own regulations with respect to the Protocol together with Santiago del Estero, Tucumán, Corrientes, Mendoza, San Juan and Formosa. (We do not have to Jujuy because while it adheres, does not respect the ILE and raped minors forced to stand)

“Paulina died and left nines very pequenes. Surely all of the conditions of life that had pushed it to that. These cases occur very frequently and are many and we learn not because the causes of death are absurd, as death by unemployed Thistle respiratory, for example. When they die, are not practiced these girls, autopsies, the justice does not intervene. There is silence and silence makes invisible what is happening constantly,”explains Garcia and concludes:”There are many high nests and complicity of physicians and medical hospitals to cover these cases”.
