Human rights court begins review of high-stakes El Salvador abortion case. humanrights abortion medtwitter
The case of the woman, a domestic worker known only as Beatriz, became a symbol of El Salvador's blanket ban on abortion, which punishes with prison time those who undergo the procedure and those who perform or assist in it.
"The case will be the first where the high court could rule on the conventionality of the absolute prohibition of a pregnancy's voluntary interruption," said Julissa Mantilla, a commissioner for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. They recommended an abortion but would not perform the procedure given El Salvador's severe prohibition.
Beatriz died in 2017 from complications from a motorcycle accident that occurred en route to a medical appointment.
