But Hidalgo, doesn't the law as set out in Article 30 go further than that by banning abortion in all circumstances without exceptions, or would there be room for interpretation? I get the impression that the Catholic Church in the DR (and in Brazil, El Salvador, Nicaragua where there have been some high-profile cases involving rape, incest and underage girls who were said to be too young for their bodies to take a pregnancy to term without threatening their lives) is not that pragmatic.
