In the words of indigenous deputy Emiliana Ayza , head of the ruling MAS (Movement Towards Socialism) party bloc in the Chamber of Deputies, “abortion is murder, a sin in the eyes of God.” According to a 2010 survey, this view is shared by close to 80% of Bolivian women. Still, 34% of those surveyed thought that, if faced with an unwanted pregnancy, a woman should seek an abortion.
