Protesters march for unrestricted abortion access in Chile and Colombia

Key Points

Pro-choice demonstrators marched through Santiago and Bogotá on Monday, calling for abortion access without restrictions and defending reproductive rights. In Chile, abortion is currently legal only when the pregnant person's life is at risk, in cases of rape or when the foetus is deemed non-viable. In Colombia, abortion is decriminalised up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, following a landmark 2022 Constitutional Court ruling.
