2 minutes read Santiago, Jan 13 (efe-epa).- Chile’s Congress on Wednesday began discussing the decriminalization of abortion within the first 14 weeks of term, which was presented in 2018 and is opposed by the government of the conservative Sebastián Piñera. Wearing green T-shirts – the color associated with a movement to legalize abortion – and shouting “Abortion yes, abortion no, that’s for me to decide!”, some of the left and center-left MPs who promoted the initiative arrived at parliament with sights set on the recent decriminalization in Argentina. “Today we begin the path towards the legal and social decriminalization of abortion in Chile. Abortions exist and will continue to exist. It is in our hands to stop persecuting adolescents and women who do not have the resources to do so in clinics,” said Maite Orsini, opposition MP and chairwoman of the parliamentary commission where the project is discussed.
