En 1999, Paulina Ramirez, de tan solo trece anos, fue violada y quedo embarazada. Con el apoyo de su familia, acudio a la clinica de su localidad para interrumpir la gestacion, pero ni su corta edad ni las circunstancias violentas en las que se dio su embarazo le garantizaron ese derecho.

Los medicos que la atendieron argumentaron objecion de conciencia, empecinados en defender sus creencias religiosas, y se negaron a practicar el aborto, dejando a Paulina y a su familia en una encrucijada vital.

Elena Poniatowska ofrece en este libro la cronica conmovedora de un caso que genero indignacion y alimento la lucha por los derechos reproductivos de las mujeres mexicanas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In 1999, Paulina Ramirez, only thirteen years of age, was raped and got pregnant. With her family's support, she went to her local clinic to terminate her pregnancy, but neither her young age nor the violent circumstances in which she became pregnant granted her this right.

The doctors argued a conscientious objection, determined to stand by their religious believes, and refused to perform the abortion, leaving Paulina and her family at a vital crossroads.

Elena Poniatowska presents the moving chronicle of a case that sparked outrage and fused the struggle for Mexican women's reproductive rights.
