Chile 🇨🇱 lifts complete ban, on abortion

Chile's 🇨🇱 Constitutional Court, legalised abortion in exceptional cases, ending the country's absolute ban on the procedure‼️

A 6-4 ruling by judges ⚖ on Monday accepted 👍🏻 the constitutionality of making abortion legal in cases of rape, threat to the mother's life or deadly birth effects.

Before Monday, the South American country🇨🇱 was part of a small group of socially conservative nations 🌍 that barred abortion under all circumstances - including the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Gabon, Haiti, Malta, Nicaragua, the Philippines and Senegal.
