New York Times: They Were Jailed for Miscarriages. Now, Campaign Aims to End Abortion Ban.
“…As Latin America has moved slowly toward lifting restrictions on abortion, six small countries have maintained an outright ban, including in cases where the mother’s life is at risk.

Two bills have been proposed in the legislature, opening up debate on the issue for the first time since the wholesale ban was passed two decades ago…” (Malkin/Palumbo, 4/9).
