Hundreds of Costa Ricans marched this Sunday in opposition to abortion and headed to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR), where a case against El Salvador is being heard regarding a woman who was denied the right to terminate her pregnancy despite her life being at risk.
The protesters, mostly dressed in light blue and singing Christian hymns, marched a kilometer from a park to the Court’s headquarters in San José, which has been handling the “Beatriz vs. El Salvador” case since March of last year—the first case it has examined on abortion in Latin America.
