Hundreds of women march in Rio to demand legal abortion
23/6/2018 14:04
Hundreds of women marched in Rio de Janeiro on Friday to demand the legalization of abortion in Brazil.
The march followed a breakthrough for abortion supporters in neighboring Argentina, where the lower house of congress approved a bill this month that would legalize elective abortion in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.
Carrying banners reading "rich (women) abort but the poor die" and chanting slogans in support of abortion legalization, the protesters in Rio marched from the state assembly to the city council late Friday.
