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.

      ‘quick, our poorly thought out economic policies are making things worse, we need divisive rage bait’. ‘I have it, we’ll ban abortion’.

        Most of them are just neoliberals who are upset there’s still a handful of regulations stopping them from going full psycopath in the name of record profits.

          In my experience, Libertarians are generally white men under the delusion that equality under law functionally exists already. That ideological principle matters more than actual systems and structures of equality. That their tax dollars should only fund the street they live on. Anything beyond that breaches their individual rights. It seems to make sense until you think, at all.

        Liberty for me, not for thee.

        “en masse.”

        They’re wolves in sheep’s clothing. I’m over all government leadership. They only represent their own interests.

      I mean, this is very clear proof they’re not libertarians. We could just stop referring to them as such.
