Lawmakers in Chile's lower house of Congress approved abortion in limited circumstances, after a decades-long ban on the practice.

‘Abortion in Chile, South America will be allowed in cases of rape, risk to the mother, or when the fetus is no longer considered viable.’

"Incredible -- the motion is passed," said the leader of the Chamber of Deputies, Marco Antonio Nunoz, after a heated debate of the draft submitted by the government of President Michelle Bachelet.
