(LifeSiteNews.com)--The Senate of Uruguay is scheduled to vote on a bill to legalize abortion tomorrow at 4:00 pm. The measure would legalize abortion in practically all circumstances during at least the first three months of pregnancy.

According to the Uruguayan radio station Espectador, the bill is currently expected to pass by the narrow margin of 16-14, although at least two senators among the opposition have recently refused to state their positions before their vote. The majority group in the Senate, the leftist Broad Font coalition, generally supports the measure, although some members have switched their positions and now oppose the bill. the rest
