SANTIAGO, January 17, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In response to a request for an abortion for a woman with fetal abnormality the Chilean Health Ministry reaffirmed the fact that the right to life of the unborn is protected by the country's constitution and thus no authority in Chile has the authority to approve an abortion.
However, medical details on the specific case in question were unclear. Some reports indicated that the life of the mother was in danger. The unborn child is beyond 20-weeks gestation.
LifeSite is seeking clarification on the matter.
