The Spin
Left narrative
This victory paves the way for a safer future for Colombian women. Allowing people to seek abortions without fear of criminal prosecutions is a huge step forward in this historically conservative, Catholic country.
Right narrative
Colombia already allowed abortions in cases of the mother's life being at risk, foetal malformations or pregnancies resulting from rape. The ruling now entitles women to end lives without justification - it is a step backwards.
