And how is abortion perceived and regulated in your country? Is it legally accessible and socially accepted, or more limited and stigmatized?

In Uruguay last year numbers are: 60 per 1000. Here abortion is legal and free.
Brazil has the second highest teen pregnancy rates in the world with 68.4 births per 1000 underage women.
However these births are very concentrated in poor areas and favelas.
Here in Brazil, I don’t think it will ever happen. Recently we had the case of a 10 year old girl who was abused and got pregnant and religious freaks didn’t want the girl to abort the baby, even though it is legal in this case. One of our ministers wanted to stop the girl from doing so. Our congress has a sizeable percentage of absolute religious nutjobs. Even with all this noise, nothing came out of it.
On the positive side, I know countries like Uruguay, Colombia, Cuba and Mexico have made it legal or at least easier for women to get an abortion, though I don’t know how common or how easy it really is.
Don’t have the numbers but it is becoming more unusual with sex education, used to be a very big problem specially in uneducated classes.
Is becoming less common with time, but it’s still a thing in impoverished areas
This was asked yesterday.
extremely uncommon
>Is it legally accessible and socially accepted, or more limited and stigmatized?
it is, but women what to liberalize it “more”, don’t know if they will succeed or not.
and abortion is only stigmatized by older people mostly, younger generations don’t mind.
It has decreased a lot since the time I attended high school, like twenty years ago, thankfully.
It is highly related to sexual education being mandatory is schools now, from kindergarten to high schools.
On the other hand, abortion is legal (if I don’t get it bad until the they’d month) in some cases but there are still issues that difficult it, from stigmas to medics negating to practice it. Even more, the actual government promised in campaign to put under a plebiscite.
12.5% of teenage girls get pregnant and between 2020-2022, the rate of girls aged 10-14 getting pregnant increased by 40%.
Abortion is illegal and extremely stigmatized. If a woman (or girl) goes to Colombia for an abortion, she is very careful who she tells because if the wrong person finds out, she could end up facing severe consequences (not legal).
Much less common than 30 years ago, but still happens sometimes
Very common. It’s a big issue in the DR. 😭
The real blackpill is when you find out how old the fathers are 💀
Lol
we have lowest in latam along with chile
A big issue unfortunately, plus DR being one of the few countries where abortion is strictly banned doesn’t help.
3.5% of pregnancies are in teenagers (up to 19)
Very very common, we dont have proper sex ed and is still scrutinized to get an abortion and it is prohibited and with legal exceptions.
