Chile bans the 'morning-after' pill - 23 Apr 2008

Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman reports on the effects the ban of the 'morning-after' pill is having on the younger generation in Chile.

Thousands of people have marched in the streets of Chile to protest against a court decision banning free distribution of the contraceptive pill.

The ruling was sought by politicians who argued that the emergency contraceptive constitutes abortion, which is illegal in Chile under all circumstances.

Fuck up as in the Chilean government trying to control women.s choices.

I think Chile reinstated the morning pill since last year with some restrictions on access, however. This is fuck up and its abortion laws do not even let a woman get a abortion even if the woman was raped or her is in danger.

@thedarkyobo It's not a child, you fucking moron. It's sperm and eggs that could someday become a child.

It hurts the poor women the most? How about the children they want to kill... Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't getting killed a bigger problem than getting pregnant?
