The controversial anti-abortion bill proposed by the far-right is closely linked to political ties: its main proponent, Cristóbal Urruticoechea, a deputy of the National Libertarian Party (PNL), has been married since February to Senator Vanessa Kaiser, sister of Johannes and Axel Kaiser.
The initiative titled «Listen to His Heart» requires women to hear fetal heartbeats before obtaining an abortion. This proposal was introduced on June 7 by Urruticoechea along with deputies Chiara Barchiesi (Republican Party), Catalina del Real (Republican Party), Álvaro Jofré (National Libertarian Party), Claudia Reyes (Republican Party), and Ximena Ossandón (Renewal National), who later withdrew her signature, admitting it was a “mistake” to endorse it.
