From 2015 to 2019, a total of 18 abortion cases brought in Chile resulted in a guilty verdict. In 2019, there was only one conviction, down from ten a year earlier. Abortion is only legal in Chile in three cases: if the pregnancy endangers the pregnant woman's life, nonviability of the fetus, and in case of rape (if it's performed during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, or 14 weeks if the woman is younger than 14).
