Uruguay has
become the second country in Latin America, after communist Cuba, to legalise
abortion for all women.
With a
17-14 majority, the Uruguayan Senate approved legislation that allows women to
have an abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
The measure
has divided opinion in the predominantly Roman Catholic country.
Pro- and
anti-abortion campaigners have criticised the compromise that sealed the deal
expected to be signed into law by left-wing President Jose Mujica.
The
proposal had already been approved by the lower house of Congress and the
Senate, but politicians from both sides of the debate agreed further changes
and held another vote.
Abortions
versus adoptions
Pro-abortion
campaigners say many lives will be saved with the end of clandestine, high-risk
terminations.

| The vote has split opinion in the Roman Catholic country |
"With
this law, we are joining the ranks of developed countries that have largely
adopted a stance to liberalise, recognising the failure of criminal laws to
avoid abortions," said government Senator Luis Gallo.
Pro-abortion
campaigners reject changes to the proposal that forces women to justify before
a panel of experts why they wish a termination.
After that,
they will need to wait for several days - a period of reflection - before being
able to state their final decision.
Anti-abortion
politicians said the government should have adopted measures to encourage
adoptions, rather than change the law.
"Abortion
is not a medical act. It does not seek to protect and preserve a patient's
health," said opposition Senator Alfredo Solari.
Abortion is
legal and available on request in Cuba.
Abortion is
also allowed up to the 12th week of pregnancy in many Mexican states and in the
area of the capital, Mexico City.
In other
Latin American countries, it is only allowed in cases of rape or health risk
for the woman.

"... I
want to define life for you - not biological life, but spiritual life. So for
all those intellectuals, just hold on, for many won't like this. Spiritual
life, as measured by Spirit, is when a Human has free choice. When is that?
It's when they take their first breath. Not in utero. There will be those who
will say, "That's wrong, that's wrong. The soul in the woman's body is alive!"
Just wait. I'm talking about spiritually. That which Spirit sees, and it's when
you come from the other side of the veil and take your first breath.
A child
with the mother has no free choice. That child is linked to the choice of the
mother until it is born. It is, indeed, a soul in preparation for free choice,
and there are many attributes that are spiritual that we have discussed before
about how that soul reacts. But now I'm discussing life with polarity
[duality], free choice.
But let's
discuss that "child inside" for a moment, for there is a process I
want you to know about. I want to talk about 240 days into the pregnancy. At
about that time, the child has perfect DNA. It hasn't taken its first breath.
The DNA hasn't measured the energy of the planet yet, since it is contained.
Did you realize that? Inside the womb is a perfect child. The child's DNA has
all the attributes of the Akash and also the parent, but it's different in a
way you have not been told. The DNA is 100% as designed.
The quantum
instructions within the DNA are all talking to the biology of the child,,
getting ready for the first breath. ..."
