Abamele ukhetho bayatatazela "ngokuvakasha kokuhushula izisu," kodwa ngabesifazane abanelungelo elikhulu kuphela abangabalekela imithetho yendawo "ye-pro-life". Abanye bavele bahlupheke.
Imibiko yakamuva yesiteleka sabahlinzeki bokuhushula izisu e-Spain nokuhlaselwa kwemitholampilo yabesifazane lapho kusetshenziswe igama elithi “ukuvakasha kokuhushula izisu.” I-LifeSiteNews, isizindalwazi esimelene nokhetho, ibiza i-Barcelona, eSpain ngokuthi “indawo yaseYurophu yokuhushula izisu, lapho abantu abavela kulo lonke izwekazi bengahamba khona ukuze bagweme imingcele yokukhishwa kwezisu ngemva kwesikhathi eside.” Kuphinde kwaba nokusakazwa kwabezindaba okuvusa amadlingozi eSpain nezinkomba ezihlambalazayo “zezivakashi ezihushula izisu ezivela kwamanye amazwe.”
NgoNovemba ka-2007, i-LifeSiteNews iphinde yabika ukuthi "abesifazane bangaphandle bazovunyelwa ukuthi bakhiphe izisu eSweden kuze kube amasonto angu-18 bekhulelwe kusukela ngoJanuwari 2008 ngaphansi kwezinguquko zomthetho ophasiswe yiphalamende laseSweden ... izakhamuzi kanye nezakhamuzi, kodwa njengoba amazwe amaningi e-European Union esevele evumela abesifazane bakwamanye amazwe ukuthi bafinyelele ekuhushuleni izisu, uhulumeni waseSweden uthathe isinqumo sokulandela lokho ... Amalungu amaningana ephalamende lamaChristian Democrat asexwayise ngokuthi lo mthetho omusha ungaholela 'ekuvakasheni kokuhushula izisu'."
Selokhu kwathi nhlo kukhona ezokuvakasha ezihushula izisu. Leli gama libhekise ohambweni oluthathwayo ukuze kufinyelelwe ekunakekelweni okuphephile kokuhushula izisu - okuyinkinga osekunesikhathi eside ikhona e-US nasemhlabeni jikelele.
Embikweni wakhe kaMeyi ka-2003 othi “Ukubona Impilo Ngaphandle Kwe-Roe: Izifundo Ngaphandle Kwemingcele,” uSusan Cohen weGuttmacher Institute unikeze umlando obalulekile:
I-New York yagunyaza ukuhushula isisu ngokusemthethweni, ngaphandle kwesidingo sokuhlala, ngo-1970, okwabeka ngokushesha iDolobha laseNew York ebalazweni njengendlela yokukhetha kulabo besifazane ababengakwazi ukuhamba. Ngaphambi kwalokho kwakuyimfihlo esobala ukuthi abesifazane baseMelika abacebile babevakashela eLondon ukuze bathole inqubo ephephile nengokomthetho.
Njengowesifazane osemusha owakhulela eDolobheni laseNew York ngaleyo minyaka, ngikhumbula kahle abangane abaningi ababekhulelwe nabo baya eMexico, eSweden, eJapane, nasePuerto Rico ukuze bakhiphe izisu ngendlela ephephile. Yebo, njengoba uCohen ephawula, “abesifazane abampofu, ikakhulukazi abasebasha nedlanzana, [ababengakwazi ukuhamba futhi] babhekana nemiphumela yezempilo [yokukhishwa kwezisu okungaphephile, okungemthetho], namazinga okufa komama ayephezulu. Abesifazane abacebile babenezinketho eziningi. ”
Ngeshwa, akukho okuningi okushintshile. Ukuhlukana kohlanga, ubuzwe, kanye nezigaba zokufinyelela kokuhushula isisu e-US kwaziwa kakhulu futhi le timu itholakala emhlabeni wonke.
Ngo-Okthoba 2007, i-Global Safe Abortion Conference eLondon yaxoxa ngalolu daba mayelana "nohambo lokuhushula isisu" - uhambo olude, olucindezelayo, oluvame ukubiza abesifazane abaphoqeleka ukuba baluthathe ukuze bafinyelele ukuhushula isisu okuphephile ngenxa yemithetho evimbelayo ekhaya labo. amazwe. Ebhala ngengxoxo engqungqutheleni, uGrace Davies waphawula, “Lolu hambo - ukuvakasha kokuhushula izisu - luyiqiniso elidabukisayo kwabesifazane emhlabeni wonke, ukusuka eKenya ukuya ePoland. Eqinisweni, igama elithi 'ukuvakasha kokukhipha isisu' ligqamisa isici esiyinhloko salesi simo. Ezimweni ezinemingcele kakhulu, izinga kanye nesimo senhlalo-mnotho sidlala indima enkulu ekutheni owesifazane angakwazi yini ukufinyelela ekuhushuleni isisu okuphephile noma cha.”
Izibonelo ezethulwe eNgqungqutheleni Yomhlaba Wonke Yokuhushulwa Kwezisu Ngokuphephile zazifundisa - futhi zaphula inhliziyo. Engqungqutheleni, uClaudia Diaz Olavarrieta wabika ngocwaningo alwenzile eMexico ngaphambi kwesinqumo esiyingqopha-mlando sango-April odlule esigunyaza ukuhushulwa kwezisu eMexico City. Ubike ukuthi “abesifazane baseMexico ababevakashela e-US ukuze bathole ukunakekelwa okuphephile kokuhushula izisu ngokuvamile babefunde kahle futhi becebile, abazange bawele umngcele ngokungemthetho, futhi ngenxa yalokho kwakungadingeki baphendukele ekuzameni ukuhushula izisu okungaphephile noma ukuzihushula ngokwakho ... bavela eDolobheni laseMexico [elinabantu abaningi] abacebile kunasezifundazweni ezimpofu ezisenyakatho nasempumalanga.”
“Amantombazane anemali aya eYurophu noma e-United States futhi abuye kahle nje ‘ekuhlinzeni kwawo i-appendix,’ kodwa amantombazane ampofu enziwa zonke izinhlobo zonya,” kusho umsekeli oshisekayo wokukhishwa kwezisu okungokomthetho eDolobheni laseMexico. isikhathi lapho kuphasiswa umthetho omusha obalulekile. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, omelene nalo mthetho omusha osindisa ukuphila wathi ngokucasuka “abantu abavela kulo lonke izwe bazoza [eDolobheni laseMexico] bezokhipha izisu. Kuzoba ezokuvakasha ezihushula izisu. Kuzoba nezinxushunxushu.”
Mhlawumbe omelene nalo mthetho omusha kufanele abuze ukuthi kungani abesifazane bephoqeleka ukuthi baye eDolobheni laseMexico ukuze bahushule izisu ngendlela ephephile. Ingabe kungenxa yemithetho yokucwasa ngokobulili nezimo zengqondo ngabesifazane ezenza bangakwazi ukuthola usizo lwezokwelapha oluphephile ezindaweni zabo zase-pueblo nasemiphakathini? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi laba besifazane namantombazane “bamane” bazama ukusindisa ukuphila kwabo, impilo, imikhaya, nekusasa labo?
Kuphinde kwacutshungulwa izindaba ezifanayo ezithinta ezokuvakasha ezihushula izisu e-Ireland engqungqutheleni. Ngokwe-Irish Family Planning Association kanye neSafe and Legal Abortion Rights Campaign e-Ireland, “abesifazane abangaba ngu-200 ngesonto baya e-United Kingdom besuka e-Ireland naseNyakatho Ireland,” lapho ukukhishwa kwezisu kuvinjelwe khona kakhulu futhi kuphambene nomthetho. “Ezomnotho zidlala indima … ukukhipha isisu kusewudaba lwekilasi,” kugcizelela u-Goretti Horgan we-Alliance for Choice Northern Ireland.
Balinganiselwa ku-1000, 000 abesifazane base-Ireland abaphoqelekile ukuthi baye eNgilandi ukuyohushula izisu kule minyaka engu-20 edlule.
Emhlanganweni wokucobelelana ngolwazi wenkululeko yokuzala wango-1996 owawubanjwe engqungqutheleni yase-University of Connecticut School of Law, u-Ursula Nowakowska wasePoland wabika ngemiphumela yomthetho wezwe lakhe wokulwa nokuhushula isisu wango-1993. Umthetho, “ovumela ukukhishwa kwezisu kuphela uma ukuphila kukamama kwakusongelwa kakhulu noma uma kunokukhubazeka okunzima kombungu,” empeleni uyinhlekisa, ukuhlambalaza, futhi uyingozi ezimpilweni nesithunzi sabesifazane, njengoba kunjalo nemithetho evimbelayo emelene nombungu. imithetho yokuhushula izisu kwamanye amazwe. "[W]omen baye eNtshonalanga Yurophu noma empumalanga ukuyokhipha izisu," esho - uhlobo lwasePoland lwezokuvakasha ezihushula izisu. “Iningi labesifazane basePoland liya emazweni angomakhelwane eMpumalanga naseNingizimu: Ukraine, Lithuania, Russia, Bielorus, Czech Republic, kanye neSlovakia … Bambalwa abesifazane abangakwazi ukuyofuna ukunakekelwa kokuhushula izisu emazweni aseNtshonalanga, njengoba izinsiza zokuhushula izisu zimba eqolo, kodwa ukunakekelwa kusezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu.” Abesifazane basePoland abanemithombo yezimali baya eJalimane, eBelgium, nase-Austria. Umbiko wangoFebhuwari 2008 owafakwa kubhulethini ye-ASTRA ngamalungelo ocansi nokuzala wabonisa ukuthi okungenani abesifazane basePoland abangu-31,000 bahushula izisu e-United Kingdom ngo-2007, okuwukweqa ngamaphesenti angu-30 enanini labesifazane basePoland kusukela eminyakeni yamuva.
Esinye isibonelo iPortugal. I-Portugal yakwenza kube semthethweni ukuhushulwa kwezisu kwekota yokuqala ngonyaka odlule, okuholele ekululameni komunye wemithetho yaseYurophu evimbela kakhulu yokuhushula izisu. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi kuhushulwa izisu okungekho emthethweni ezingaba ngu-20,000 2006 minyaka yonke, futhi izinkulungwane zabesifazane zigcina zisezibhedlela ngenxa yezinkinga. Akumangazi ukuthi izinkulungwane eziningi zabesifazane esikhundleni salokho zikhetha ukweqa umngcele ziye eSpain ekhululekile - ukuvakasha kokuhushula izisu kwabesifazane basePortugal. Izibalo zenani labesifazane abashiye izwe eminyakeni yakamuva ukuze bathole ukunakekelwa okuphephile kokuhushula izisu azikho, nakuba ngo-4,000, umtholampilo owodwa waseSpain eduze nomngcele wasePortugal wabona abesifazane abangamaPutukezi abangu-XNUMX bengena bezonqamula ukukhulelwa.
E-United States, naphezu kokugunyazwa kokuhushulwa kwezisu eminyakeni engama-35 edlule futhi lapho imingcele yokuhushula isisu ingeyona impi ephikisana nezimpilo zabesifazane, ukufinyelela ekuhushuleni isisu kucekeleke phansi kakhulu - okuholela enguqulweni yamanje yase-US yokuvakasha kokuhushula izisu. NgokweNational Abortion Federation, “amaphesenti angu-88 azo zonke izifunda zase-US akanabo abahlinzeki abahlonza ukuhushulwa kwezisu. Ezindaweni okungezona ezasemadolobheni amakhulu, isibalo sikhuphukela kumaphesenti angama-97. Ngenxa yalokho, phakathi kwezinye izithiyo eziningi zokunakekelwa kokukhishwa kwezisu okuphephile, cishe ingxenye yesine yabesifazane base-US abafuna ukukhipha izisu kufanele bahambe amakhilomitha angu-50 noma ngaphezulu ukuze bafinyelele umhlinzeki oseduze wokukhipha izisu.” Phakathi neminyaka engu-18 njengomqondisi ophethe we-Aradia Women's Health Center eSeattle, eWashington, umtholampilo wethu wawubona ngokungaguquki abesifazane abavela kuso sonke isifunda, kanye nase-Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Iowa, Texas, California, Oregon, naseMexico.
Njengempendulo yalezi zinkinga eziqhubekayo, i-Abortion Access Project yethule i-Least Access States Initiative, eqondise abesifazane baseMississippi, Kentucky, West Virginia, nase-Arkansas, "ababelana ngokujwayelekile okukhathazayo - bonke bahlala ezifundazweni ezingafinyeleleki kalula." izinsiza zokuhushula izisu e-US.” Lona ngumsebenzi oncomekayo futhi onzima, njengoba kuzoba nzima kakhulu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abesifazane balezi zifundazwe ezingasasebenzi kahle ekugcineni bayakwazi ukusebenzisa amalungelo abo ngokukhululeka.
Pho ubani ofayo ngenxa yokungabi bikho kokufinyelela kwezisu? Ubani ohluphekayo? Ubani ophoqeleka ukuba aqhubeke nokukhulelwa okungafunwa, noma ophendukela ngokuphelelwa yithemba emitholampilo engaphansi, engathembekile, nekhohlisayo? Ubani ongeke abe “isivakashi sokukhipha isisu” futhi ahambe ngaphakathi noma ngaphandle kwezwe lomuntu ukuze athole ukunakekelwa okuphephile kokuhushula isisu? Itimu yendawo yonke icacile - ngabesifazane noma amantombazane ngokulinganayo abancane kanye/noma abampofu, abomdabu, abanombala, owokufika, umbaleki, kanye/noma ahlukaniswe ngokwezindawo. Ngabesifazane kuphela abanezinsiza zezimali abakwazi ukuhamba amabanga amade beya kwesinye isifunda noma izwe ukuze bathole ukunakekelwa okuphephile kokuhushula izisu.
Imithetho yamanje yokuhushula izisu yamazwe amaningi ayanele ngokuphelele ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zabesifazane namantombazane abafuna ukunakekelwa okuphephile kokuhushula izisu. Ngakho-ke, abesifazane abakhulelwe namantombazane abakwazi ukukwenza baphoqeleka ukuthi babe izivakashi ezikhipha izisu. Nakuba leli gama livame ukusetshenziswa ezindleleni zokucwasa ngokobulili nezindlela ezilulazayo, elikukhomba ngempela ukuthi izidingo zempilo yokuzala zabesifazane azinakwa. Abesifazane bavamise ukuphucwa ilungelo labo lokufinyelela izinsiza eziphephile, ezinozwelo, nezichwepheshile zokuhushula izisu eduze nasekhaya, noma okungenani esifundeni noma ezweni labo.
