REBEKA SMYTH: And Argentina legalizes abortion after the Senate vote and the joy spills out onto the streets. See for yourselves.
ARGENTINE LEGISLATOR: ...is approved and becomes law and will be referred to the Executive.
SMYTH: Today the Argentine Senate passed a bill that legalizes abortion, a victory for the women's movement after decades of struggle. This represents a setback for Pope Francis in his country of birth, as well as for the Catholic religion. The legislation establishes that women and other persons with birthing-capable gender identities have the right to access voluntary (abortion) until the 14th week of gestation.
