In 2003, the Human Rights Committee of United Nations expressed to the Salvadoran state its "concern about the severity of ... laws that criminalize abortion, especially in view that illegal abortions have serious negative consequences for life, health and welfare of women " and said" must take steps to bring its legislation into conformity with the provisions of the Covenant concerning the right to life (Article 6) to assist, in particular women prevent unwanted pregnancies and to not have to resort to illegal abortions that could endanger his life .. " This recommendation is very important for life women in the case of abortion, has not been complied . Abortion remains illegal in absolute form, except the fault or negligence, if the woman is what made. In the abortion manifests a clear confrontation between the rights of women and the rights of the unborn, the unborn child include an individual, formed, and a being that is in the process of training become a natural person. Both beings, shaped, and the one in training, are valuable to society and the state must be protected equally. The laws and courts are responsible for resolving this conflict of rights, so that no part out injured too. In most legal systems in the world, this conflict rights is resolved in favor of women where there has been rape, fetal malformation, or serious illness of the mother. (In our country even before 1998 when it took effect, the current Penal Code, and also happened). Many countries on the other hand, tend entirely by the woman's right to voluntarily terminate her pregnancy until 12 weeks when the embryo and fetus has become. Very few States - El Salvador, Nicaragua, Chile, Dominican Republic and the Vatican, have opted for a total criminalization of abortion. This is a minority position in the world, at odds with the right internationally, and is totally unfair to women. At odds with international law as stated by the Committee on Human Rights: it violates the right to life of women. It is completely unfair because it leaves them at a total disadvantage: they lose their presumption of innocence (are forced to incriminate themselves, the presented to a hospital for medical abortion if done wrong), are discriminated against in relation to man ( does not have to answer criminally although it has been an active player in the situation of women, except in the case of rape), women are seen as means not ends (they are punished for moral or religious grounds satisfy the secular state values \u200b\u200bof others); not entitled to have its own body (which is absolutely contrary to human dignity). Abortion can not be a contraceptive method, as stated in UN conferences on population in the world, but not be penalized absolutely totally destroying the fundamental human right of women to decide, their reproduction to life, dignity, under certain parameters of course. The unborn have valuable rights that the State must protect but they should not prevail absolutely on women pregnant. In a democracy where all people must be protected in their rights (including the unborn, in training), both majority and minority (in the case of women, majority of 52%), liberal founding principle of our political system, upset the bankruptcy laws in this regard and further, the position of the Constitutional Chamber, the supreme interpreter of the Constitution, which in 2007 issued a ruling, debatable not only conceptual, but legally, which I shall refer in a nearby space.
