”...as the Cambiemos (Let's Change) government lobbied to legalise abortion.”

The statement above is an error. The government of Mauricio Macri, in a strange maneuver, allowed the debate to occur but was opposed to legal, safe and health-care covered abortion.

As a result, the proposal was approved by the lower chamber but was later defeated by the Senate in spite of intense popular mobilization in support of legalization.

As for the topic at hand, stopping making Argentine taxpayers support the Catholic Church is a long overdue move and total separation of State and Church should follow.
