Abortion decriminalization in Ecuador has been widely debated in different fields. The main ethical arguments are the deontological religious (pro-life) versus social justice ethics (prochoice). However, these arguments collide with each other they have not adequately addressed the fact Ecuador define as an intercultural, secular, social justice, and constitutional rights country. Mainly this paper analyses the compulsory constitutional framework to allow unrestricted abortion in rape, incest, and fetus malformation cases currently forbidden. Besides the unconstitutional religious slippery slope argument, which states allowing abortion, in any case, destabilizes society. Congress has not approved abortion reformations; therefore, another solution is to request the Constitutional Court a judicial rule of Law about the right of abortion by binding the bloc of constitutionality, sexual and reproductive rights, and bioethical principles.
