HND 12/2012 Honduras Health; Violence against women; Supuesta penalización de la píldora Anticonceptiva de Emergencia. Según la información recibida, en abril de 2009, el Congreso de Honduras aprobó el Decreto No. 54-2009, que establece sanciones penales para la promoción de uso, venta, compra y cualquier política relacionada con la Píldora Anticonceptiva de Emergencia, así como toda comercialización de fármacos anticonceptivos de emergencia. Violaciones al decreto implicarían las mismas sanciones que se imponen para la penalización del aborto en el Código Penal de Honduras, las cuales oscilan entre los tres a diez años de prisión para cualquier persona que practique o se someta a un aborto. El 15 de mayo de 2009, el entonces presidente José Manuel Zelaya Rosales vetó el Decreto, enviándolo así a la Corte Suprema de Justicia para que se pronuncie sobre su constitucionalidad. Mientras tanto, la Secretaria de la Salud aprobó el Acuerdo No. 2744, que incluía las mismas prohibiciones en cuanto a la anticoncepción de emergencia. El 14 de febrero de 2012, la Corte Suprema confirmó el Decreto y lo declaró constitucional. A/HRC/23/51 18 Date Type
