Resumen
En la mayoría de los países de América Latina, el aborto es ilegal, aunque existen causas atenuantes
y eximentes de su práctica. Sin embargo, estudios realizados en países con procesos liberalizadores
por más de dos décadas, como Estados Unidos, muestran la persistencia de actitudes diferentes
frente al aborto, que van desde visiones pro vida a visiones pro elección. El aborto ha sido, es y
será un tema controvertido sobre el cual se vierten multitud de opiniones; existen muchos puntos
de vista pues son muchos los condicionantes y matices que lo hace un tema delicado que traspasa
los límites de lo racional para adentrarse en lo emocional. El Ministerio de Salud Pública en su
componente Materno especifica que “el aborto es la interrupción espontánea o provocada del
embarazo antes de las 20 semanas de gestación y/o el feto que pesa menos de 500 gramos; siendo
la tasa de perdida clínica del 10% al 15% de las gestaciones, El aborto realizado en condiciones de
riesgo representa un grave problema de salud pública en los países en desarrollo. Por todas las
deficiencias sociales conocidas, el problema del aborto se ve directamente relacionado con la
pobreza, la educación y, sobre todo, la salud pública. Según la OMS cada día muere un aproximado
de 1500 madres debido a complicaciones del embarazo y parto; y dentro de las causas se encuentra
que el 13% se deben a las complicaciones del aborto peligroso; lo que coloca a esta causa dentro
de las 5 primeras de mortalidad materna, razón as que suficiente para abordar su estudio y
considerarlo un serio riesgo a la salud materna.
In most Latin American countries, abortion is illegal, although there are extenuating and then causes of abortion. However, studies in countries with liberalizing processes for more than two decades, such as the United States, show the persistence of different attitudes toward abortion, ranging from pro-life visions to pro-choice visions. Abortion has been, is and will be a controversial subject on which many opinions are poured; There are many points of view because there are many conditioning factors and nuances that makes it a delicate subject that transcends the limits of the rational to enter into the emotional. The Ministry of Public Health in its Maternal component specifies that "abortion is the spontaneous or induced interruption of pregnancy before 20 weeks of gestation and / or the fetus weighing less than 500 grams; Being the clinical loss rate of 10% to 15% of pregnancies. Abortion performed under risky conditions represents a serious public health problem in developing countries. For all the known social deficiencies, the problem of abortion is directly related to poverty, education and, above all, public health. According to WHO, an estimated 1,500 mothers die every day due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth; And within the causes it is found that 13% are due to complications of dangerous abortion; Which places this cause within the first 5 of maternal mortality, reason enough to address its study and consider it a serious risk to maternal health
