Buenos Aires, Feb 7 (EFE).- Argentina’s far-right ruling coalition La Libertad Avanza has presented a draft bill to repeal the country’s abortion law in parliament, according to information on Wednesday.

The bill, presented on Monday, calls for the repeal of the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy Law and for abortion to be criminalized for both the woman and those who participate in the procedure.

The text does not present any defense in the event of rape, although it leaves sentencing to the judge’s discretion “in consideration of the reasons that prompted her to commit the crime, her subsequent attitude, and the nature the fact.”

The woman could be punished with prison terms of 1-3 years, it proposes.

    How will this address Argentina’s tumultuous economy? Oh wait. It won’t. He’s a right-wing populist and everyone said he would do shit like this but humans were bamboozled yet again by the confusing reality of right wing politicians doing things against the interest of the working class. It’s not like we have decades upon decades of world history to draw from that says that voting Conservative is a vote against your best interests, both socially and economically.
