María de Lourdes Alcívar de Lasso, wife of the President-elect, published several messages on her Twitter account to show her rejection of the possibility of approving the decriminalization of abortion in cases of rape. This topic will be trat. Adopted today, April 28, by the Constitutional Court.
María de Lourdes de Lasso asked Ecuadorians to “pray that abortion is not approved in the country.” In addition, she indicated that everyone has the right to life and that “people should be educated from birth, to respect life.”
In the same way, the wife of the President-elect indicated that a mother should be accompanied, assisted, and given the alternative of adoption. “How many parents do not have children and would have their children.”
The plenary session of the Constitutional Court will meet to resolve the unconstitutionality action on the decriminalization of abortion for rape that was presented in July 2019 by various groups.
The unconstitutionality action is related to norms that could affect the rights of women, girls and adolescents, and groups that constitutionally have priority attention, according to the proponents.
In addition, the Ombudsman’s Office urged the Constitutional Court to decriminalize abortion for rape, since in the country there are alarming numbers of girls and young people who suffer sexual abuse and are forced to give birth.
