Abortion

What is it?

At Profamilia, we work to protect your rights.

At Profamilia, we work to protect your rights. In Colombia, since 2022 (Ruling C-055), abortion has been decriminalized up to the 24th week of pregnancy. This means you can exercise your right to access free, legal, and safe abortion services without having to meet any type of requirement or condition.

It’s your decision! However, if your pregnancy exceeds 24 weeks, the current regulations allow access to a voluntary termination of pregnancy only if one of the three grounds established in Ruling C-355 of 2006 applies.

Safe abortion is legal in Colombia

Around the world, many countries impose restrictions on the free exercise of this right, forcing women and pregnant people to resort to unsafe procedures in clandestine places that lack the necessary conditions to ensure their care, health, and well-being.

Colombia has the most progressive legal framework in Latin America for guaranteeing the right to abortion. You are not alone! At Profamilia, we offer a Program for the Prevention and Care of Unintended Pregnancy, which seeks to promote chosen motherhood and prevent medical complications and deaths caused by unsafe abortions.
