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.

    Reverse Wolverine strikes again!

    Who’s got “suspend elections to remain in power and become a dictatorship” on their Argentina Bingo Card? I’m betting that will come when his term in office is up.

        Strangely, he isn’t loosening restrictions on private gun ownership, like any good ancap would.

        Wonder why.
