San Juan, Argentina, Apr 30, 2021 / 18:18 pm (CNA).
A man from San Juan province in Argentina filed for an injunction to prevent his ex from aborting their child, however, the judge rejected the measure, which pro-lifers say shows there is a loophole in the abortion law that ignores fathers.
Franco, the father, filed an injunction April 22 in San Juan Family Court to prevent his ex from having an abortion. According to the man’s version, when the woman realized she was 12 weeks pregnant she decided to opt for an abortion, a decision which ended the relationship.
“As we disagreed, that ended the conversation, but despite that I suggested that she have (the baby) and give it to me. If afterwards she wants to go on with her life, she’lll be able to do so,” Franco told AM 1020 radio in San Juan province.
