Colombia: The Office of the General Attorney filed a claim before the Constitutional Court requesting the annulment of Sentence T-841/2011, which ruled in favor of a woman’s request for abortion for her minor daughter and ordered the health care provider to provide compensation for having denied the procedure and to bear the costs of the newborn’s medical treatment. The Constitutional Court denied the claim for annulment.
