Article 30 outlawing abortion was passed in its first reading by legislators reviewing the Constitution this week. But Dr. Justo Nicasio, head of Emergency at Nuestra Senora de la Altagracia, the largest maternity hospital in the country, says that legislators have sentenced many women to death with this decision. Hospital director Dr. Juan Cid Troncoso said he would not let any patient die in his care, no matter what it says in the Constitution. Nicasio said that sometimes pregnancy is not "compatible" with life "and this is why I listen to the clamor of feminists." He pointed out that some women who suffer from heart conditions or other health problems could die unless a doctor interrupts the pregnancy.
