UPDATE: The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the highest human rights courts in the Americas, has ordered El Salvador to provide Beatriz with the care that will save her life. This is the first case on abortion that the court has ever considered. El Salvador's Supreme Court has decided to deny a 22-year-old woman a lifesaving abortion, ruling against making a medical exception to the conservative nation's stringent abortion ban. Without an abortion, the woman will likely die — along with her nonviable fetus, which is missing its brain. Identified in the press only as "Beatriz," the young Salvadoran woman suffers from a chronic health condition that worsens when she is pregnant, and her doctors have warned that she is at "high risk of death" if she continues to carry her fetus. Several ultrasounds have revealed that, even if Beatriz does survive to carry the fetus to full term, it has virtually no chance of survival because it has no brain.
