From the Buenos Aires Times: In an historic vote that serves as a culmination of decades of feminist struggle, Argentina's Senate on Wednesday approved a bill to legalise elective abortion in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy. (CW for following link: deadly violence against pregnant women) From The Guardian: Argentina has become the largest Latin American country to legalise abortion after its senate approved the historic law change by 38 votes in favour to 29 against, with one abstention. Elated pro-choice campaigners who had been keeping vigil outside Buenos Aires’s neoclassical congressional palace erupted in celebration as the result was announced at just after 4am on Wednesday.
... Wednesday’s victory is the result of five years of mass protest marches by Argentina’s grassroots women’s movement, which began as a Twitter campaign against gender violence that used the hashtag #NiUnaMenos (“Not one less” – meaning no more women lost to gender violence).
