Nicaraguan president signs abortion ban



By JOSEPH B. FRAZIER, Associated Press WriterSat Nov 18, 5:03 AM ET
 
President Enrique Bolanos signed a bill Friday banning abortion in all cases — including when a woman's life is endangered — despite opposition from doctors, women's rights groups and diplomats.

Presidential spokesman Lindolfo Mojarretz told The Associated Press that Bolanos signed the bill Friday and that it will become law when it appears in the official register on Saturday.

Previously, Nicaragua allowed abortions if three doctors certified that the woman's health was at risk. The law signed Friday eliminates that century-old exception.

Zensee, everyone is entitled to their views...I have my reasons for being against abortion, except in the cases I mentioned previously (rape and health issues)

Abortion can be an emotive subject........Personally I don't see Down's as a good reason for it. Most people wish for their children to be as perfect as is possible, me included.....but I wonder where the line would be drawn ....if you knew your child would be born blind or deaf or with dwarfism?

Status: offline 		I think the Nicuraguans have gone far too far because ALL abortions are banned. I don't believe in abortion except for the reasons so often stated by others but I think banning abortion is a retrograde step, some women will seek out an abortion even if it puts their own life at risk so a ban is pointless. Far better to win an argument and persuade someone to your view, far better to fail than force ones beliefs on someone else.

I would have an abortion if there was anything wrong with the fetus that an operation couldn't fix after the birth. Why should the child be born  to suffer all of its life? In cases like that, it's cruel for the pregnancy not to be terminated. No matter how much a mother may want a child, it's the child that suffers. If I was in a bad car accident and was going to lose my arms or legs or be mentally retarded, I would prefer death to medical attention any day. Let me die!!

Did they propose the same bill in North or South Dakota a little while ago?  I think it didn't pass.

I agree and no government/religion should have a law to tell her what she HAS to do. It is her body ultimately it should be her decision because it effects her life.

Or why should you have to put up with a child that isn't perfect?

Children who have been born with problems rarely wish they hadn't been born and are quite often in a better disposition than healthy children.

Why do you assume that children born with deformities, physical difficulties or Down's suffer all of their lives?  It's a bit much to assume someone elses quality of life is going to be less than another's based on your idea of perfection.... or what you, as an adult could or could not bear. I can assure you that those things are not a barrier to enjoying life. Physical perfection isn't a guide to quality of life and happiness.

Are you saying that if a child cannot be *fixed* .....it should be aborted?

Status: offline 		I don't know whether or not to say I'm pro-life because I think if a woman's life is at stake she should have the right to terminate a pregnancy even though "I" personally would not. When they told me that I had pre-eclampsia with my last son and that I could die along with my baby that scared me to death, don't get me wrong but no matter what I was going through with that delivery, that was my choice...thank God he is a healthy 6 year old now....It's not for "me" but in certain medical situations a woman should have a right to choose. It is NOT a form of birth control
