Oh, that’s too bad. :-( I guess things are changing everywhere.

The legalese in that article confuses me though. If the constitutional amendment to legalize abortion in the first trimester was narrowly defeated, then shouldn’t that mean it is still illegal? Or is it that it is still “technically” illegal but the “distress” clause is a loophole because women are just claiming mental distress whenever they feel like it now?

Well now everyone knows why I’m not a lawyer LOL...

It sounds like that must be what happened. Now 15% of pregnancies end in abortion there. Very sad...
