Argentine Lawmakers Consider Bill to Decriminalize Abortion
-----------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday's strike came one day after protesters gathered at the
National Congress building in Buenos Aires in support of new legislation
to decriminalize abortion. This is Argentine high school student Abril
González.

Abril González: "The only thing I'm hoping for is that legislators vote
well and with their consciences this time, that they think of the lives
of the girls that have died from secret abortions in subhuman conditions
and that they let legalization become law."
