“…The country has very restrictive abortion laws. … But a shift in public opinion in this traditionally conservative country has forced congress to vote on a bill to change the law later this month.

Last week, he said that if congress votes to relax abortion laws on 20 March, he would not veto the decision…” (Goñi, 3/14).
