FULL TITLE: Violent Abortion Activists Throw Firebombs at Pro-Lifers, Police After Argentina Defeats Abortion Bill

While pro-lifers celebrated, abortion activists in Argentina turned violent Wednesday night after the country’s Senate rejected a bill to legalize abortion on demand.

The Evening Standard reports abortion activists threw firebombs and glass at riot police and pro-lifers on the streets of Buenos Aires after the vote.

Late Wednesday, the Senate rejected the pro-abortion bill in a 38-31 vote after the lower house of parliament passed it earlier this year. The bill would have legalized abortions for any reason up to 14 weeks and up to birth in limited circumstances, including rape.

The current law prohibits unborn babies from being aborted except in cases of rape, severe disabilities or threats to the mother’s life.

Late Wednesday into Thursday, riot police set up a mobile barrier to protect people from the violent pro-abortion protesters, according to the report. Photos show abortion activists starting fires along the barrier and throwing glass bottles over it.

Here’s more:

After the vote, a number of protestors clashed with police, throwing firebombs and setting up flaming barricades. Police officers responded with tear gas.

Dramatic images from the scene show people throwing bottles and other objects while anti-abortion activists celebrate.

Newser reports thousands of people stood in the streets of the nation’s capital, sometimes in heavy rain and cold temperatures to wait for the vote. Large video screens were set up outside of parliament for people to watch the debate, according to the report.

“The demonstrations were largely peaceful, but after the vote, small groups of protesters clashed with police, throwing firebombs and setting up flaming barricades. Police officers responded with tear gas,” according to the report.

The Irish news site Buzz shared a video of abortion activists starting fires in the streets.

The reports do not indicate if there were any arrests.

Meanwhile, EuroNews reports pro-lifers celebrated with fireworks and shouts of joy outside parliament. Many pro-lifers wore or waved baby blue bandannas, a symbol of the fight for unborn babies’ rights in the country, according to CBC.

Idiot writer!

“Violent abortion activists” is the incorrect verbiage for those beholden to the murderous cult of abortionists! “PASSIONATE ABORTION ACTIVISTS” is the correct wording.

If you must use the “violent” label, then the following would have been correct, according to the typical MSM news paper: “Passionate Abortion Activists Gently Toss Firebombs at Violent Pro-Lifers, Police After Argentina Defeats Life-Saving Abortion Bill.”

Don’t these idiots have any decent editors? /s

woman who gave birth and then put the baby in a trash bag which killed him or her

The thing I really don't understand is that most states now have laws where a child may be left at a hospital, firestation, church, etc. and therefore put up for adoption, but instead, mothers kill their child and those that are caught say something like "I didn't want a stranger raising my child". Do they believe the child is better off dead?

They believe they’ve put a stop to their being a mother. In truth, they’ve only rendered themselves a mother who kill their child. Like motherhood, murder never goes away.

1 in 3 females in the USA will kill at least one child in her life...now, that’s 1 in 3 females not mothers.

But, just think about that next time you’re out at a public gathering of any kind...1/3 of the females there will be or are murderers at least once and most likely more than once.

This is only the numbers that have been reported...we know many are not reported.

I do research relating to traumatic memories. Every single woman, pro life or pro abortion has a trauma if they had a loss of an unborn child, whether voluntary or involuntary. No exceptions. The soul knows right from wrong.

Even miscarriages create trauma. Life is precious.

They really think there’s a big difference between what that woman did and what unplanned parenthood does. Does unplanned parenthood kill then baby? Yes they do. Do they put in a bag? Yes they do, so what’s the difference?

Their irrational, illogical thinking won't permit them to acknowledge the truth you state. According to their reasoning, a woman should only be allowed to hire out the murder of her own baby but, if she does the deed herself, she should be prosecuted. I wonder how they imagine a late term abortion works? It is brutal and disgustingly horrendous to dismember and/or poison a baby human and then extract its parts from the woman's womb.

I often wonder if people were ever exposed to the facts with physical evidence about what happens in an abortion, they would still approve of a woman's "right" to do it? Look at the response to Hitler and the Holocaust once pictures came out of the concentration camp victims. It's impossible to ignore the gruesome proof.

She should have left the baby at a safe drop off spot and gone to planned parenthood to be sterilized then she wouldn’t have to go through this again. Sterilization needs to be offered free of charge to anyone who doesn’t want children. It only makes sense.

The only difference is which side of the mother’s cervix the child is on.

Somehow that’s become relevant.

This is what the faggies in Ireland would have done if they hadn’t voted to undefine marriage.

It’ll happen when the states take up the issue, after the federal government recuses itself; i.e., when Roe v Wade is overturned. Then you’ll have a border conflagration analogous to that between Kansas and Missouri in the 1850s, and things will degenerate from there.

The left is the source of 95% of all violence.

Aside from that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Not so in my ancestral Ireland......they are holding out so far.

They allowed only 15 legal abortions last year.

I was very disappointed as are you how the Republic voted
