Criticism of the judiciary
Regarding the judicial intervention, he emphasized that “this was interpreted by Justice, or by the Rio Negro Judiciary, as having prevented the patient’s desire to terminate a pregnancy, and in this way in 2019 I was convicted, and “This sentence has just been served.”
Without hiding his criticism from the members of The Attorney General of the Fourth District, He pointed out that the investigation once morest him was “a kind of test of “What can happen if one does not submit to the arbitrary decisions of power”.

“Life won, truth won”
He also questioned that Fernández Oro’s young mother was forgotten following the trial. “When the trial was over, the verdict was in place, “This woman was abandoned and no one else cared for her, unfortunately she had to seek help,” he emphasized. And he added: “The arguments that were made at the time, saying this was to protect women, were completely wrong.”
As in the development of the investigation, Rodríguez Lastra reiterated his firm position on what he decided at the time of the care of the abused young woman and stated that “these arguments, when we speak of the defense of rights, were absolutely false, and the only thing they tried to do was destroy the life of a child who is now regarding to turn 7, who is happy, with an adoptive family who will take care of him and give him the future that any of us deserve, they mightn’t fight it.”
He pointed out emphatically that “the child is alive, the woman who was the victim of all this is fine, she is healthy, therefore I am satisfied in that aspect because Life won, truth won, beyond the injustices one has suffered.”
Finally, the doctor guessed that he wants to work in the private sector and that “It is difficult for him to return to public hospitals.”
A sentence of one year and two months
Doctor Rodríguez Lastra was declared responsible of the crime of failure to fulfill the duties of a public servant. He was subsequently given a suspended sentence of one year and two months, as well as a special disqualification from holding public office for two years and four months.
In the oral process conducted in mid-2019, a court found the facts established in the terms set by the Public Ministry. And in October of the same year, the conviction was announced.
A series of defense presentations then began, delaying confirmation of the conviction. In March 2020 Provincial Court of Appeal partial upheld in appeal by the prosecution, with the understanding that the case fell under a case of birth violence and extended the guidelines for behavior to be imposed. Furthermore, it confirmed in all conditions the doctor’s guilty plea for not having performed a legal abortion. It then declared inadmissible an extraordinary challenge that sought to reverse what was resolved.
