Abstract
DIDES-CASTILLO, Claudia and FERNANDEZ, Constanza. Abortion in Chile: advances in human rights. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2018, n.43, pp.61-76. ISSN 1886-5887.
This article offers an account of the political and legal process that led to the approval of the Chilean bill on willful abortion under three circumstances: threat for the pregnant woman's life, fetal inviability and rape. It describes and analyzes data on the situation of abortion in the country, provides a brief historical review of the political process and debate on the law, and reflects on the challenges that sexual and reproductive rights still face.
Keywords : abortion; reason for abortion; reproductive and sexual rights; human rights; autonomy; reproductive freedom.
