Director Statement

Ofrecer una propuesta que cuestione la posición deontológica, dogmática y religiosa que penaliza el aborto. Toda mujer debe poder rehusarse a continuar un embarazo, independientemente de sus condiciones económicas. Ello es una muestra de libertad sexual y reproductiva, responsabilidad y autonomía personal. En la sociedad actual, nacer no es siempre un privilegio ni una bendición.
