Argentine doctor served his sentence for refusing to perform an abortion

“Those arguments, speaking of defense of rights, were absolutely false, and the only thing they tried to do was destroy the life of a child who is now about to turn 7 years old, who is happy, with an adoptive family that is taking care of him and giving him the future that any of us deserve, they couldn’t fight against that,” he said.

“The child is alive, the woman who was a victim of all this is fine, she is healthy, therefore in that aspect I am satisfied because life triumphed, truth triumphed, beyond the injustices that one has suffered,” he said.

The doctor anticipated that he will continue working in the private sector, and “it is difficult for him to return to public hospitals.” However, he reiterated that his commitment to life “is unwavering” and if he is faced with a case similar to the one that led to his conviction, “in the same case I will act in precisely the same way.”
