| dbo:abstract | - Abortion in Honduras is completely prohibited under any circumstance, and has been constitutionally prohibited since 1982. The country's constitutional prohibition on abortion was further cemented by the country's Congress on January 22, 2021. In order to change this law, a three-quarters majority in the Congress will be required, or 96 out of 128 votes. The country's prohibition causes detrimental effects on the human rights of women and girls in Honduras, particularly survivors of rape. Like in its neighbors Nicaragua and El Salvador, abortion is prohibited even in cases of rape, even though United Nations experts have found that denial of abortion can constitute torture in certain cases. This is worsened by the fact that Honduras has one of the worst rates of sexual violence. This has been cited as a reason for migration from the country. This is compounded by the fact that Honduras also prohibits the use of emergency contraception, the only country in the region to do so. This law to prohibit the morning-after pill was vetoed by then-president Manuel Zelaya in 2009, but it was signed into law after he was removed in the 2009 Honduran coup d'état. It was upheld by the country's Supreme Court in 2012. (en)
- El aborto en Honduras está prohibido absolutamente de forma legal. El parlamento había aprobado unos artículos que despenalizaron el aborto por razones terapéuticas, eugenésicas y jurídicas, pero en 1997, esos artículos fueron derogados por decreto. Cada año, más de 9.000 mujeres son ingresadas por abortos clandestinos. (es)
