AP: Argentina’s lower house approves bill legalizing abortion
“Lawmakers in Argentina’s lower house on Friday passed a bill that would legalize elective abortions to the 14th week of pregnancy, a proposal from President Alberto Fernández in response to long-sought demands from women’s rights activists in the homeland of Pope Francis. The bill still needs approval from the country’s Senate in a debate expected before the end of the year…” (Calatrava, 12/11).

Additional coverage of the bill is available from AP, Foreign Policy, New York Times, and Washington Post.
