Women in #Argentina, a major Catholic country, can now legally terminate pregnancies until week 14. The change was voted through by the Senate on Wednesday, triggering a wave of celebration among #prochoice demonstrators.

The lawmakers passed the bill by 38 votes to 29, with one abstention, two weeks after it was approved by the lower chamber of the parliament.
