CWN Editor's Note: The president of Argentina’s Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, has indicated that he would like attempt a repeal of the country’s permissive abortion law next year.

Menem, who is staunchly pro-life, admitted that the odds currently weight against a successful repeal campaign. “I don’t think we have the numbers,” he conceded. But if pro-life candidates are successful—and with the support of President Javier Milei, who has described abortion as murder—it could become possible.
