Argentine Congress Awaits Vote on Legalizing Abortion

Click to Comment → Print

Members of the Kirchner-lead congress are on the verge of voting to legalize abortions in Argentina, a practice that is currently illegal in the South American nation. Though it’s rarely enforced, current laws prohibit all forms of abortion nationwide. Many see the current laws as antiquated and discriminatory.

The new bill, if passed, would not guarantee that all types of abortions would be legal. Instead, the bill contains protocol and regulations which  serve as guidelines on how to receive an abortion legally. The bill is more symbolic than anything, and is supported by leading abortion rights groups in South America.
