Pro-life groups in Colombia have welcomed a Court ruling preventing a massive expansion of abortion rights.
The Constitutional Court of the Latin American country ruled on Monday against legalising abortion for the first 16 weeks of pregnancy.
The Court however allowed the procedure to continue in more restrictive circumstances.
Pamela Delgado, the Colombia director for the 40 Days for Life movement, said that instead of granting more access to abortion, the country “needs policies to support pregnant women who are in crisis” so that they can have their babies.
