Voluntary Termination Of Pregnancy Bill (Argentina)
The Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy Law ( es, Ley de Interrupción Voluntaria del Embarazo; IVE) was approved by the National Congress of Argentina in 2020, legalizing abortion in Argentina. The first draft of the bill was created in 2006 by the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe, and Free Abortion (''Campaña Nacional por el Derecho al Aborto Legal, Seguro y Gratuito''), which sought to have Congress consider it in seven different occasions, to no avail. In 2018, the bill was introduced into the legislative agenda, with the approval of then- PRO president Mauricio Macri, who was personally against it. It was approved by the Chamber of Deputies by a 129 to 125 margin on 13 June 2018, but failed to pass the Senate on 8 August 2018 by a 38 to 31 margin.

Abortion In Argentina
Elective Abortion in Argentina is legal in the first 14 weeks of gestation. The abortion law was liberalized after the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy Bill (Argentina) was passed by the National Congress in December 2020. According to the law, any woman can request the procedure at any public or private health facility. Doctors are legally bound to either perform it or, if they are conscientious objectors, refer the patient to another physician or health facility. Only four other Latin or South American countries have legalised abortion on request: Cuba in 1965, Guyana in 1995, Uruguay in 2012 and Colombia in 2022. According to polling in 2021, around 44% of Argentinians support the legalization of abortion on request; other polls showed 50–60% of Argentinians opposed the bill. The voluntary termination of pregnancy (IVE, by its Spanish acronym) has been demanded by the feminist movement since the 1970s. In 2005, the National Campaign for Legal, Safe, and Free Abortion, an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Limited Voting
Limited voting (also known as partial block voting) is a voting system in which electors have fewer votes than there are positions available. The positions are awarded to the candidates who receive the most votes absolutely. In the special case in which the voter may vote for only one candidate and there are two or more posts, this system is called the single non-transferable vote or sometimes the strictly limited vote. Example The town of Voterville elects three representatives to the local legislature. At the election, the ballot paper appears thus: The voter has only two votes, which they have cast for Brian and Beryl Blue. They cannot cast a third although there are three seats being contested. Each vote counts as one towards the total for the candidate voted for. Practice and issues Limited Voting frequently enables minority groupings to gain representation – unlike first past the post or bloc voting systems. But it is not guaranteed to do this, since the effecti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
