In a victory for pro-life advocates in Argentina, the country's Senate rejected a bill yesterday to legalize voluntary abortion into the 14th week of pregnancy, the Independent Catholic News website reports today (August 10, 2018).
Hours of heated debate ended with a 38 to 31 vote against the measure.
Senators from Argentina's northern regions led the campaign against legalizing voluntary abortion, while representatives from the Buenos Aires region and those in the south pushed to pass it.
Current Argentine law permits abortions only if the mother's life is at risk, or in cases of rape.
