    This research, entitled "ABORTION IN WOMEN WITH MENTAL DISABILITY, VICTIMS OF VIOLATION AND THE RIGHT TO LIFE," proposes that the degree of mental disability of a woman victim of rape should be considered to contemplate abortion as a non-punishable act. Currently under Ecuadorian legislation, abortion is sanctioned; however, there are certain exceptions such as when a woman with a mental disability is violated, abortion is permitted; Thus violating the right to inviolability of life, contemplated in the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador. In addition, allowing women with non-severe mental disabilities, who have been victims of rape, to perform an abortion, constitutes a total and absolute violation of the right to life that the human being has. This permissive and generalized action within the Ecuadorian criminal law against abortion of women with mental disabilities contravenes the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic with respect to life itself. To ensure an adequate and effective administration of justice in terms of establishing the criminal responsibility of women with mental disabilities who have been victims of rape and who end up with the life of the being in their womb, it is necessary to establish the degree of mental disability they suffer. This type of abortion should be a punishable act that inevitably entails a sanction for these women and consequently a decrease of the mortality rate for this cause.
