The article rewrites from a feminist perspective an unsuccessful vote handed down in a direct action of unconstitutionality of a municipal law that prohibited the distribution of emergency contraception in public services in the municipality. Formal unconstitutionalities are pointed out regarding the competence and initiative to legislate and materials such as violation of the constitutional rights of sexual and reproductive health of women, especially black and poor, equality, dignity and autonomy, as well as the alleged violation of the right to life is removed due to the action of the medicine and the need to guarantee state secularity.
