The issue is very sensitive and complex, observing that since its criminalization, the State has not yet made progress, and continues to apply sanctions for women who practice it. Observing that in addition to these factors, this method of abortion continues to be applied, becoming not only a criminal type, but also a public health problem if one observes the number of women who die from post-abortion complications.
