BOGOTA, Nov 18 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Elective abortion has a good chance of becoming legal in Argentina, supporters said on Monday, as a new center-left president is about to take office and feminist and abortion rights movements are growing in the South American country.
President-elect Alberto Fernandez has announced plans to propose a law decriminalizing abortion once he takes office on Dec. 10, saying reproductive rights are a public health issue.
