Argentine women demonstrated Tuesday across the country in order to demand free access to abortion, as the bill legalizing the procedure is currently being debated in Senate after the lower chamber approved the version.
Activists insisted so the bill would be examined as a matter of public health and criminal affairs, and therefore sent to the correspondant commissions in Senate.
However, Argentina’s Vice President and head of the Senate Gabriela Michetti sent the bill to other senate commissions, the Budget and Revenue Commission, and the Constitutional Matter Commision, before it can be voted on. A decision that was criticized by the feminist movement as an attempt to delay the vote.
