Argentine Lawmakers Advance Bill to Decriminalize Abortions
-----------------------------------------------------------

Argentina's lower house of Congress has approved a bill that would
decriminalize abortions during the first 14 weeks of a pregnancy. News
of the bill's passage sent a cheer through hundreds of pro-choice
demonstrators who rallied outside the National Congress building in
Buenos Aires during Thursday's vote. President Mauricio Macri has
promised to sign the legislation if it's passed by the Argentine Senate.
