La opinión
de una concursante
de belleza sobre una ley
en Chile
que obligaría a las mujeres
a escuchar el latido
de un embrión antes de acceder
a un aborto legal:
DOMINGA LÓPEZ
Miss Universo Chile 2026
Creo que cuando
hablamos de aborto,
tenemos que tomarlo
desde la parada de la empatía,
de reconocer que detrás
de cada mujer que decide
tomar la decisión de abortar
hay una historia
que casi siempre conlleva
dolor, miedo y mucha vulnerabilidad.
La nueva Miss
Universo
Chile 2026,
alzó la voz sobre
un tema con alta
polémica en el país:
Y creo que el Estado
debería enfocarse más
en el acompañamiento
de estas mujeres,
no en dejarlas de lado ni obligarlas
y exponerlas
a una experiencia que puede
retraumatizarlas
y revictimizarlas.

En Chile el aborto
solo es legal
en tres causales.
Fuera de
esas excepciones
Y aun así,
entre 30 mil
y 150 mil abortos
ocurren cada año
en condiciones inseguras.
En 2023
casi 50 personas
enfrentaron procesos
penales por ello.
