Argentina is set to become the most populated Latin American country to legalize abortion, after a vote by the lower house of 131 to 117 in favour of the legislation put forward by President Alberto Fernández. The bill which would legalize abortion up to 14 weeks, passed after a 20-hour debate which went into Friday morning, and the result was televised to jubilation and celebration from those in approval of the pro-choice bill. This is part of President Fernández’s pledge to prioritize women’s rights within his newly formed government, as well as LGBTQ+ rights. Given the quick onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the early stages of the new government, many have been encouraged by this commitment to meet the policies and promises that he ran an election on, despite the extenuating circumstances of the pandemic, and the heavily catholic beliefs influencing policy within Argentina.
