Swiss Parliament Moves To Legalize Abortion In Switzerland
Swiss lawmakers voted to legalize abortion up to 12 weeks, with the National Council approving 107 to 69 and the Council of States 22 to 20. A national referendum is expected, delaying final decision on when the law would take effect. An alliance of women's groups welcomed the vote and plans to campaign for approval if a referendum occurs. Abortion remains technically illegal but widely practiced with medical attestations in many cities.
