Pro-Choice

As you may have read, the bill was defeated in the Argentine Senate on August 8 by 38 to 31.

Most of President Macri's right-wing "Let's Change" coalition voted against it. The opposition Peronists were split about evenly.

Only Cristina Kirchner's Citizens' Unity (a center-left Peronist break-away party) was strongly for legalization.

Not coincidentally, right-wing Catholics hate her with a passion; it's the same kind of hatred you see among Republicans for Hillary - if not more intense.

That said, supporters have vowed to re-introduce the abortion legalization bill this year.

My guess though, is that it won't have much of a chance until after the elections this October, when Citizens' Unity and other progressive parties may make inroads in congress (and, hopefully, the presidency as well).

Macri has, as many of us predicted, driven the economy clear into the ditch with his Bush-like casino capitalism brand of policies. So change is looking more likely to happen, rather then less.

One can only hope.
