Buenos Aires, Dec 28 (EFE).- Thousands of anti-abortion activists on Monday took to the streets in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires to protest against a new bill to legalize abortion. Argentina's more conservative Senate is set to hold an abortion debate on Tuesday, in a session that is expected to be extensive. An abortion bill introduced by President Alberto Fernandez's administration seeks to allow the voluntary termination of pregnancies until the 14th week of gestation, which will definitely be law if it obtains the approval of the Upper House, although the voting looks tight. Under current law, abortions can only be legally performed in cases of rape or risk to a woman's life or health. (Camera: ALBERTO CARATOZZOLO).
