The National District Attorney General's Office is preparing to prosecute three doctors and four nurses for performing illegal abortions at three Santo Domingo clinics. Abortion is illegal and penalized by Law 317. Doctors Luis Antonio McKinney Soriano, Numas Perez Molina and Ramon Antonio Nunez Cruz, and nurses Erinia Devora Castro, Elerolisa Brazoban Martinez (Isabel), Miola Silvestre Pena and Josefina Hernandez Burgos have been under investigation since February. Also under investigation are the Doctor McKinney, Dr. Perez Molina and Centro Medico San Ramon clinics, where the medical staff worked. The pending case became public after the abortion issue was debated in Congress. The Dominican Medical Association (CMD) is in favor of penalizing doctors who perform abortions or cause harm to patients during the procedures, while supporting abortion in cases of incest, rape or congenital malformation. Discussions are still under way about whether to legalize or penalize abortions in the Penal Code that is under review in Congress.
