In Guatemala, abortion is illegal in almost all cases, except for when the woman's life is endangered. As stated in Penal Code, Decree Number 17-73 (1973), Guatemalan law believes that "Abortion is the death of the product of conception at any time of pregnancy." Furthermore, "A woman who causes her abortion or consents to another person causing it, shall be punished with imprisonment of one to three years. If driven for reasons linked intimately to her state that produce undoubted psychic disturbance, the penalty shall be imprisonment of six months to two years."<ref>[http://worldabortionlaws.com/map/ World Abortion Laws: Guatemala]</ref> | |||
