Argentina steps closer to legalising abortion

Argentina steps closer to legalising abortion
After Ireland, comes Argentina.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-44486190
Quote:Catholic Argentina's lower house has backed a bill legalising abortion in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.

After a divisive debate lasting more than 22 hours, 129 members of the Chamber of Deputies voted in favour and 125 against while one abstained.

The bill will now have to go to the Senate.

President Mauricio Macri is strongly opposed to the bill but has said that he would not veto it if it was passed by both houses.

Abortion is currently illegal in Argentina, except in cases of rape or when the life or health of the woman is at risk. Women seeking abortions also have to apply to a judge for permission, which critics say can unnecessarily delay the procedure.





I particularly like the real issue that a girl brings up near the start of the video - people do it anyway, just like their great-grandmothers did it... with many dying like their great-grandmothers did.
