And yesterday, a 30 year-old woman died after attempting an abortion with a parsley stalk - the second such incident since August.

Meanwhile Macri's spending $30,000 from the Health Secretary's already-slashed budget to promote pro-life groups. Free money, and they don't have to account for it.

I might add that his very anti-choice - and Opus Dei-affiliated - Solicitor General, Juan Carlos Mahiques, is trying to remove Judge Ramos Padilla (the one investigating the Extortiongate case).

Befor Macri appointed him, Mahiques was best known for his judicial dissent in 2006 against a disabled teen who had sought an abortion after being raped by her uncle. He was in a tribunal of judges, and luckily he failed.

Thank you for posting this, Shenmue. Disturbing; but important to know.
