Argentina to become largest country in Latin America to legalize elective abortion Ruby Mellen, Ana Herrero © Agustin Marcarian/Reuters Demonstrators in favor of legalizing abortion attend a rally in Buenos Aires on Wednesday as the Senate debated the bill. Argentine lawmakers voted early Wednesday to legalize elective abortion, a key step in making the predominantly Roman Catholic country the largest in Latin America to allow the procedure. The legislation championed by President Alberto Fernández was approved by Argentina’s House of Deputies earlier this month. Fernández is now expected to sign it. Elective abortion is legal in Cuba, Uruguay, Guyana and parts of Mexico. In Argentina, as in much of the region, the procedure has been permitted only in the case of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.
