In Colombia, abortion is legal under three circumstances: to save the life of the woman, risk of fatal fetal malformations and cases of rape, incest or non-consensual insemination. For cases dealing with maternal health, this decision was left to medical authorities (there is no official court finding on what is included). For fetal malformations, there are no specific provisions for what qualifies at the court level, so this is left to medical opinion. For cases of rape, incest or non-consensual insemination, a report must be made to authorities.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Colombia Abortion in Colombia]</ref> In all other cases, such as to preserve physical health, to preserve mental health, economic or social reasons, or available on request, are not legal reasons, according to the 2006 Colombian Constitutional Court ruling.  
En Colombia, el aborto es legal bajo tres circunstancias: para salvar la vida de la mujer, el riesgo de malformaciones fetales fatales y casos de violación, incesto o inseminación no consensual. Para los casos relacionados con la salud materna, esta decisión fue dejada en manos de las autoridades médicas (no hay una conclusión oficial del tribunal sobre lo que se incluye). Para las malformaciones fetales, no hay disposiciones específicas para lo que califica a nivel judicial, por lo que esto se deja a la opinión médica. En los casos de violación, incesto o inseminación no consensual, se debe informar a las autoridades <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Colombia Aborto en Colombia]</ref>. En todos los demás casos, como para preservar la salud física, para preservar la salud mental, razones económicas o sociales, o disponibles a petición, no son razones legales, de acuerdo con el fallo de la Corte Constitucional colombiana de 2006.  


During the 2006 court rulings, the court also considered conscientious objectors. It was decided that health care centers (e.g. clinics, hospitals, etc) cannot refuse to perform an abortion. However, individual doctors can refuse to perform abortions on religious grounds. If this is the case, they must refer women to providers who can perform abortions.
