아르헨티나, 낙태 합법화…임신 14주 이내 허용<br /><br />A historic decision ahead of the New Year in Argentina,...as the country became the first major country in Latin America to legalize abortion.<br />For more on this and other news from around the world, we turn to our Lee Kyung-eun.<br />Kyung-eun, what's the latest?<br />Mok-yeon, Argentina's Congress approved the law,..allowing abortions up to the 14th week of pregnancy.<br />This comes after a 20-hour marathon debate among senators on Wednesday.<br />It's a ground-breaking decision for the highly Catholic nation,...which was one of the countries with the most restrictive termination laws.<br />Until now, abortions were only permitted in cases of rape,...or when the mother's health was at risk.<br />It's a major victory for Argentina's women's rights activists,... who've been at the forefront of this change.<br />And for the country's left-leaning President,...who largely supported the law.<br />But Catholic conservatives have expressed much disappointment.<br />Many eyes are one how the decision by Argentina, a country with great influence in the region, could inspire other nations like Brazil and Chile, to follow suit.<br />
