Intervention in the lawsuit against Articles 14 to 17 of Act 1335 of 2009.
Intervention on the constitutionality of the declaration of the state of social emergency.
Defendant: Decreto 4444 de 2006
Dejusticia requests the Council of State to refuse the application of nullity of the decree that regulates the provision of services for voluntary interruption of pregnancy. To this end, we argue that the Sentence C-355 of 2006, which decriminalized abortion in three cases, namely, when the continuation of pregnancy endangers life or health, when there is a serious malformation of the fetus that makes its life unviable, and when the pregnancy is the result of rape or artificial insemination, hit the health system when it recognized that pregnant women who are in any of the situations described above are entitled to access the service for voluntary interruption of pregnancy in healthy conditions. Under this impact on the health system, the National Government could exercise its regulatory powers in this case since Act 100 of 1993 establishes it is the competent authority to regulate the provision of health services.
