                <media:description>BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA - DECEMBER 30: Pro-choice demonstrators celebrate after the right to an abortion is legalized on December 30, 2020 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The proposal authorizes legal, voluntary and free interruption of pregnancy until the 14th week while allowing doctor&apos;s conscientious objection. It is the ninth bill to legalize abortion treated by the Argentine Congress and the first one publicly supported by the president of the country.
