    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales , Carrera de Derecho, 2017-01) Gamboa Vargas, Sabina Lorena; Pérez Romo, Viviana Rebeca
    In Ecuador, the consensual abortion or V.P.I (voluntary pregnancy interruption) is a crime and it is punished by the article 149 from “Codigo Orgánico Integral Penal” (Penal Body of Laws). This punishing law doesn’t take into account gender factors, which results in women fundamental rights denial. Therefore, women aim for an underground abortion that turn them away from the public health systems The lack of focused information about unsafe abortion and its link to maternal deaths, therapeutic abortion access restrictions, and abortion caused by sexual violence, professional secret infringement added to women in abortion process prosecution violate the Ecuadorian women rights to health, reproduction, privacy, violence free life, and substantial equality. Situation that leads to a discrimination condition. In a free, open-minded, and pluralistic society, legislators are obliged to exercise the fundamental rights according to the necessities of each historical moment. Gathered experience in term laws application, the social and juristic acknowledgement advance in women independence in their public and private life advocate for voluntary pregnancy interruption regulations as long as women independence and competent antenatal life protection as a juristic good are guaranteed.
