Did you read far enough?I already have property there.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Costa_Rica
“Abortion in Costa Rica is severely restricted. Currently, abortions are allowed only in order to preserve the life or physical health of the mother. Abortions are illegal in cases of rape or incest, when the unborn child suffers from medical problems or birth defects, for social reasons, and for economic reasons. Abortions are not available on demand, with no reason given. Currently, it is unclear whether or not abortions are legal to preserve the mental health of the mother.”
Induced abortion is classified as a crime in the Penal Code of 1970, included in the crimes against life.
If accurate, that’s a higher rate than the US. It’s a pretty country but I’m not sure it holds the moral high-ground regarding abortion, if that is what you seek.Currently, abortions in Costa Rica are most commonly practiced in secret, either in private clinics or by other means where statistics of maternal deaths are difficult to obtain. In 2007, data revealed that the number of illegal abortions is on the rise, up to 22.3 for every 1,000 from 10.6 for every 1,000 women. This comes out to about 27,000 illegal abortions being performed in Costa Rica annually.[2]
