BOGOTA COLOMBIA). Monday, February 21, 2022 (RPTV NEWS AGENCY). In a historic decision, the Constitutional Court decriminalized abortion up to 24 weeks or six months of gestation. After that period, says the sentence, the three causes already known will be maintained: risk to the life of the mothers, malformation of the fetus and rape.
The decision of the magistrates was taken with a vote of five votes in favor and four against, when studying the complaint of the Just Cause movement.
“Regarding the lawsuit that attacked article 122 of the Penal Code, related to the typical description of the crime of abortion, the Constitutional Court declared, in the first place, the CONDITIONED EXEQUIBILITY of article 122 of Law 599 of 2000 “by means of the which, the Criminal Code is issued”, in the sense that the conduct of abortion provided for therein will only be punishable when it is carried out after the twenty-fourth (24) week of gestation and, in any case, this time limit will not be applicable to the three assumptions established in Judgment C-355 of 2006”, reads the statement issued by the High Court.
