The Dublin Declaration on Maternal Healthcare-issued by self-declared pro-life activists in Ireland in 2012-states unequivocally that abortion is never medically necessary, even to save the life of a pregnant woman. This article examines the influence of the Dublin Declaration on abortion politics in Latin America, especially El Salvador and Chile, where it has recently been used in pro-life organizing to cast doubt on the notion that legalizing abortion will reduce maternal mortality. Its framers argue that legalizing abortion will not improve maternal mortality rates, but reproductive rights advocates respond that the Dublin Declaration is junk science designed to preserve the world's most restrictive abortion laws. Analyzing the strategy and impact of the Dublin Declaration brings to light one of the tactics used in anti-abortion organizing.
2012年，爱尔兰自称支持生命权的活动人士发布了《都柏林孕产妇保健宣言》，明确指出堕胎在医学上绝无必要，即便为挽救孕妇生命也不行。本文探讨了《都柏林宣言》对拉丁美洲堕胎政治的影响，尤其是萨尔瓦多和智利，近期该宣言被用于支持生命权的组织活动中，对堕胎合法化将降低孕产妇死亡率这一观念提出质疑。该宣言的起草者认为，堕胎合法化不会提高孕产妇死亡率，但生殖权利倡导者回应称，《都柏林宣言》是伪科学，旨在维护世界上最严格的堕胎法律。分析《都柏林宣言》的策略和影响揭示了反堕胎组织所采用的一种策略。
