Thousands Rally Across Argentina Demanding Legalized Abortion
-------------------------------------------------------------

In Argentina, thousands of reproductive rights activists held protests
in dozens of cities Wednesday to renew their push to legalize abortion.
Public support for abortion rights has grown since 2018, when a bill to
repeal an abortion ban narrowly lost in the Argentine Senate. This is
Pamela Martin, who joined a large protest in Buenos Aires's city center.

Pamela Martin: "Today is a day of action for safe, legal and free
abortion. This is our third protest. February 19th is a day for
political influence, a day in which we ask ourselves to continue calling
for, to demand and to struggle for our right to decide."
