In El Salvador, a court denied an ill woman only known as "Beatriz" an abortion after being told from doctors told her once her unborn baby is born her life would be at risk. Beatriz is suffering from lupus and kidney problems and her unborn child is not developing properly. The unborn child is not expected to survive long after its' birth. In the court case Beatriz argued that an abortion could save her life. A 3-1 vote ruled that Beatriz's was not seriously in danger right now, but it possibly could be in the future. The ruling also ruled that one life could not take priority over another. The doctors will proceed to monitor her condition and the fetus's to be able to make the medical decisions. Her options are not limited by this ruling. Beatriz could travel to another country to have an abortion to save her life.
